To use it you have to have a ticket valid on the Underground because you
have to go through an Underground gateline and the route is much slower
and
more convoluted than the above ground way. The weather would have to be
really atrocious for it to be a sensible route when starting at ground
level.

When coming off a ThamesLink train, it was much better and more convenient I
found to transfer to the VictoriaLine.

Yes, well it would be. But that's not what the post was in reply to. It is
not better or convenient to go the underground route from Kings Cross
concourse to Kings Cross Thameslink concourse.

Yes, but the underground route between the tube and Thameslink *is*
signposted from all deep tube platforms and also from the Thameslink end.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
