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.

Its a good read for anyone who has previously only seen the very
brief Network Rail pamphlet:
My concern is increased by reading this in the Executive Summary:
"These rail constraints and the station operational requirement to hold
departing passengers within the main concourse restricts the southern
gate line to exit only."
It looks from there as if anyone arriving by whatever means from the
Gray's Inn Road or Pentonville Road direction will have to go all the way
past platforms 1-8 to get back to any of them. I don't call that
convenient.
Gatelines sound pretty cycle-unfriendly too. They certainly are at
Liverpool Street. No mention of "cycle" in the Executive Summary or any
other part of the document referred to above I note.
All in all no consideration of passengers accompanying cycles at all.
