On the rare occasions when I needed an NR ticket at King's Cross, I used
to wander over to St Pancras where the queues were shorter. I guess that
doesn't work any more :-)

It might still work - most of the criticism above about queues has been
about the LU ticket halls I think - the NR booking hall in St Pancras is
near the entrance to the Thameslink platforms, and I've never seen it very
full.

Another option is the FCC ticket office at the KX suburban platforms,
though I'm not sure how busy that gets during peak times. I'd
certainly recommend that as a place to get Day Travelcards for those
arriving at KX (LU's ticket windows and machines are almost always
very busy).

There are plenty of FastTicket machines in Kings Cross itself of
course if one wants to quickly buy a walk-on ticket. I'm not sure if
these will sell you a Day Travelcard - though I'm pretty sure the
Virgin FastTicket machines at Euston will.
