Every train at King's Cross has a booked and timetabled platform.

Do they still have that station announcer who yells at people (to
go back to the concourse) who "guess" the platform before it's
published?

Not tonight they didn't. I was one of a group waiting for the signallers
to get off their arses and announce that the 19:15 was going from 6. It
had to be; there was no other 8-car FCC train to be seen. Eventually they
put it on the screens at 19:09.
