As far as I am aware there is no intention to allow access/exit at the
plate form level in to the forecourt at St Pancras which is on the
Euston Road, there will as now installed be exit entrance at the Euston
Road level into the LUL Ticket Hall. The £80 fine for Dropping and
collecting passengers in unauthorised places will in due course be
extended to whole complex to dissuade traffic problems.

Access from Pancras Road via the old steps seems to be envisaged - the
steps are still there, complete with art nouveau 'St Pancras Station'
sign. (Though I suspect the subtle difference between this and the
adjacent LU 'Kings Cross St Pancras Station' sign, without roundel,
will confuse many visitors.)

Thats what I thought - and those steps take you up onto the forecourt area
and the old main entrance where the taxis used to go in? There isn't enough
detail in anything I've found on the internet, but it seems incredible if
they aren't allowing at least pedestrian access through the original front
entrance, and isn't that the obvious route to the 'champagne bar', 'gastro
pub', 'meeting place', that they keep plugging in their announcements?

I wonder if anywhere in the new complex will sell a non-fizzy pint of
beer ? For all its plastic Traveller's Fare dingyness in latter years,
that was one thing you could always get at the Shires Bar. Champagne
bars and Gastro Pubs don't sound quite the sort of place to visitors to
Britain a well kept pint of Burton's Best :-(
