The current long route from the underground to platform level at St

Both will be opening later this year.


Indeed - and another side entrance to the new Underground ticket hall
between St P and KX will open in c2009.

I wonder if the OP has noticed that St Pancras and Midland Road both
have something of an unfinished/building site ambience at present...?

What nobody is admitting is that work on the new (Northern) Undrground
ticket hall was suspended for two years, thus messing up the timescale
and leaving MML (and FCC/Thameslink) passengers with the present trek
to the tube for two more years after St P is supposedly completed.
The hall will of course be opened in time for the domestic CTRL
services.
