Well, east, anyway. The station building is 150-odd metres east of the
junction of York Road and Euston Road; that junction is very roughly
the eastern end of the Northern line platforms, and the western end of
the Victoria platforms.


No, its the EASTERN end of the victoria line platforms.


Is it? Am i misreading this:

Or is it wrong? Did York Road/Way get moved at some point?

And its a very long way east of the Northern line platforms.


About a hundred metres east; yes, i was wrong about that, sorry - hasty
reading of the map.

From west to east its basically Northern Line Platforms - (Below the)
Tube Ticket Hall - Victoria Line Platforms - Thameslink.


Yes - but that puts the Victoria platforms to the east of the ticket hall,
and roughly at the junction.

The eastern end of the northern line platforms are almost directly under
the Tube Ticket Hall, and the western end are almost under St Pancras;
the middle is where that silvery round thing is on the surface behind
the hoarding,


The Blue Egg!

and the eastern end is WEST of the round tiled thing by WH Smith (on WH
Smith's western side) - the round tiled thing is where the old
Piccadilly lift shafts were, and the round silvery thing is where the
old Northern line lifts were.


Fair enough. Are there any surface markers of the Victoria platforms?
