And then there is the reworking of King's Cross mainline to
come, especially sweeping away the "temporary" concourse.

Are they going to achieve the miracle of Liverpool Street of
converting a station with all-over step free access to one full
of stairs and escalators too? Anyone seen any consultations on
plans?
From what I've gleaned elsewhere, acess from the new northern
ticket hall will be via a footbridge across the middle of the
platforms, but the south end access will also be retained.

There's a summary sheet here Colin:

No mention of cycles. I've sent them feedback via their web form
(no address on the leaflet). Searching the web site doesn't even find


that leaflet!

You can find LOTs of useful information on the Camden Council
website at:

http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/environment/
planning-and-built-environment/major-developments/king-s-cross/

Some Councils seem to get lots of useful info on their websites,
unlike some I could name. Perhaps their Councillors spend too much
time away from their elected domain (;-)


Ho. ho. My constituents take bikes on trains to London too!

How the hell is one supposed to find the impact on cycle access to and
from the station from this mass of documents? It hardly helps for
starters that the drawing PDFs won't open on this PC.
