Here's a thought - will the ticket office at King's Cross Thameslink
remain open? I suppose the subway is staying open so the ticket office
will have to - but will it be transferred to LU?


Why should they be transferred?

Because won't Thameslink have a completely new ticket office at St
Pancras Midland Road? Would there be any point in them running that
office at Pentonville Road when that entrance will only be particularly
useful for the Victoria Line?

The existing Kings Cross Thameslink platforms will remain open for the
present time. This is where northbound trains from Brighton will terminate
during the station case building works. If you're asking about the long term
future, I'll enquire, but with an improved tube ticket hall, a new western
ticket hall replacing the existing Metropolitan ticket hall and the strong
possibility of a Northern ticket hall, I doubt LUL will require another
ticket hall by 2007.

I meant once KXTL is closed and StP MR is open. If that ticket office is
closed then I imagine a member of (LU) staff will be still be required
to man the gates - which would probably lead to restricted opening hours
for that entrance.

When have you heard KXTL will close?

Not before 2007.

Camden Council say it is due to close in 2007. Presumably they mean it
will close when Midland Road opens - also due in 2007.

Curious that Camden should say that. Isn't KXTL in Islington?

Not quite. The boundary runs down York Way, then along Pentonville Road
and Kings Cross Road. So KXTL is in Camden but the other side of
Pentonville Road is in Islington.

Isn't that entrance going to become an unmanned emergency exit only, once
the TL platforms shut?

So, in an emergency, out of the frying pan...
