Road to trains via a footbridge is not acceptable.

As a fellow cyclist, who sometimes brings his bike through town en route to
Peterborough or Cambridge, I'd agree. However, as we're talking about a
situation following the GN link-up with the Thameslink services, it may be
that any remaining FCC (or successor's) services are concentrated on the
suburban station and the entire main trainshed used for InterCity services -
so, certainly for us, the issue may not be relevant. Of course, there was a
desire to try and get rid of the suburban platforms entirely, with the main
trainshed used for everything. That objective may not be possible in view of
rising passenger numbers and increased service frequencies, but if it is
then access via the front of the station to the trainshed would be
preferable to battling with lifts in order to use the new footbridge!
