I also believe that the platform 1-8 footbridge at KX will

Really?! That isn't going to be at all popular, having to lug one's
luggage up then down some stairs. Though of course there could be
lifts for each platform, and a ramp at the west side to access the
bridge, so it could be mitigated somewhat. And the main concourse is
going to be on the west side I suppose, so maybe it's not going to
be an issue at all.

It's also not what I was told when I asked, concerned about cycle access
to trains. I was firmly told that there will be a platform level access
at the side of platform 8 and shown the plans to that effect. But it does
mean that access to platform 1 (and 0) from the York Way entrance will be
very convoluted.
