I think this is going to get a lot better when Midland Road is
reopened - there'll be a route round the back of King's Cross, via
Goods Way / Pancras Road, then Midland Road, then straight across
to Judd Street. This all hinges on Midland Road being two-way, or
at least having a contraflow cycle lane, of course, and i've no
idea if that will be the case.

One thing I know for sure is that Midland Road will be one-way
southbound (don't know if a contraflow cycle lane will be in place
though). They're also planning to make the Pancras Road stretch
between Euston Road and Goods Way one-way northbound, thereby
creating an anti-clockwise movement of traffic around London St.
Pancras International.

With a cycle contra-flow to get from Platforms 9-11 to Argyle Street? Do
the people drawing up these plans talk to any cyclists, let alone any of
them cycle themselves?

Camden Cyclists (Camden LCC) are on the case, but not being listened
to very well.

Access to the new St Pancras Midland, in particular, may be very
circuitous.
