Victoria Line trains are now stopping at Kings X again - yeah!! Was
an inconvenience changing at Warren St for Northern Line, but
understandable in the circumstances.

Problems though currently southbound due to a defective train at

No sign of this as I walked into the main line station from Euston
Road. Not that I was looking very carefully, admittedly.

So how do people buy tickets?

to be completely honest Colin I don't know. I was as surprised as the
next person when the Northern Line driver at TCR said that Kings Cross
had opened for Vic Line services. We certainly had not had an internal E
Mail announcing it before I left the office. I get a sense that KX had
only been open for maybe an hour or less by the time I went through.

The first priority may well be to get lines working and people moving
with the money bit coming a slight second to having staff in a visible
and reassuring position. Certainly a number of the replacement buses or
supplementary buses on some routes are not taking fares.

I'm sure the ticket office and ticket machines will be covered pretty
soon.

I get the impression it was decided to open about 14:00. Was told by DOM at
around 14:20 - for a 15:30 start. Actual was about 15:45.
