This all hinges on Midland Road being two-way, or at least having a
contraflow cycle lane, of course, and i've no idea if that will be the
case.

One thing I know for sure is that Midland Road will be one-way
southbound (don't know if a contraflow cycle lane will be in place
though). They're also planning to make the Pancras Road stretch between
Euston Road and Goods Way one-way northbound, thereby creating an
anti-clockwise movement of traffic around London St. Pancras International.

With a cycle contra-flow to get from Platforms 9-11 to Argyle Street? Do
the people drawing up these plans talk to any cyclists, let alone any of
them cycle themselves?

Camden Cyclists (Camden LCC) are on the case, but not being listened
to very well.

Access to the new St Pancras Midland, in particular, may be very
circuitous.

So, along with the York Road / Caledonian Road / Wharfedale Road and
Gray's Inn Road / Pentonville Road / etc loops, King's Cross will become
the focus of three gyratory systems, arranged like petals on a flower?

The latter, I suspect, would be a sight to behold. ;-)
