I don't think you've got this right Jack; in the LB Camden planning
info, there is a document that discusses all the details of passenger
movement. It shows quite clearly that the overbridge will be a one
way route onto the platforms for departures, but that the main
passenger flows will be to/from the south (existing) end of the
platforms, and mostly onto the forecourt:

Apologies if I was unclear. My understanding was based upon articles in
the transport magazines, I hadn't actually seen that very interesting
document that you link to, and was that all departures will take
passengers into the station through the new west side ticket hall, feeding
them to the first floor waiting area and then across the new (as you say,
one way) centre footbridge and then down to the platforms by lift or
escalator. Following demolition of the current 'temporary' mess at the
front of the station to reveal Cubitt's facade, I was under the impression
that this would be the main point of exit from the station for all
passenger arrivals (apart from those, I assume crossing to St. Pancras
domestic platforms). The suggestion was that there would not be access to
the platforms from the front of the station - perhaps things have changed
since, following consultation.

No apology needed - I think info has been very sketchy up to now,
particularly Network Rail's site has lacked any real detail. There is also a
Dec 2006 revision of that document on the Camden planning site if you are
interested, the drawing text is a lot clearer.
