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.


That's my concern as a cyclist. Access from Euston Road or Gray's
Inn Road to trains via a footbridge is not acceptable.


Why are you still concerned then? The information provided earlier
shows quite clearly that the 'main' access, and all the exits, for
platforms 1-7 is from the south west corner and south end of the
station, where the steps come up from the tube ticket hall, in
fact. Platform 8 is accessed on the level, from either end of the
ticket hall. The footbridge provides one way access to platforms
1-7 from the mezzanine floor (where the shops and cafes are) for
people waiting for a while for long distance trains.


It's because people keep saying it's *from* platforms 1-8 and I'm not so
sure about movements *to* platforms 1-8, especially from Gray's Inn Road
(the South East).
