It looks like the blue one would be on the other side of the tracks
from the platform, and the mustard one would be directly over the
tracks, so I'd have to say that I doubt it was either.

The blue one is indeed over the tracks, but no-one said it was a lift
down to the Northern Line... however its position doesn't seem useful
for any of the other lines.

The mustard one is exactly the same as Mr Thant's red one, and I agree
with his positioning - that if comes out in a cross-passage at the
Northern Line platform level.


OK, I've now found yet another plan of the works, and it seems that:

(a) The Mustard lift is, as widely supposed, a lift to the Northern Line
platforms.

(b) The Blue lift is a very short one, and just serves to get from the
Ticket Office level down to the barrier level (repeating the final stage
of the existing 'new lift' at the other end of the barrier line). It's
also necessary to use that small lift to get to the Mustard lift.

Meanwhile: The Old Northern Line lifts would pass through the
right-angle 'junction' in the passage from the NTH to the northern line
(see composite below).

I have also amended the drawing below because (in common with some other
artists impressions on the passageways) it originally showed the exit to
the front of KX Station too far north.

Plus: that exit also has a lift, and there are additional lifts between
the NTH and the passage to the Piccadilly line, and between that passage
and the Piccadilly line. No lifts to the Victoria Line as far as I can
tell.
