Default St Pancras 'Midland Road'

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).


The entrance flows are shown on the drawing on page 9 of:

so I assume you're going to have to cross the existing forecourt and come in
through the new main southern entrance, between the existing station and the
Great Northern Hotel. As someone else has said though, aren't the services
moving to St Pancras Midland Road eventually? I really can't think of
anything helpful to say about taking a bike through a gateline, but I'm sure
cyclists will have to get more used to them, they're installing a lot more
than they're removing...
