My understanding is that it's staying basically the same, but all the
tunnels are being enlarged and the stairs are being replaced by
escalators. The Picc escalators appear to head north from the
currently blocked off part of the Thameslink tunnel (which will be the
main tunnel) and come out in the same cross passage as the temporary
stairs.

It's the escalators that I hadn't picked up on. That certainly makes a
load of sense in the context of the closed off bit of the Thameslink -
Picc Line tunnel.

Where was the entrance to what is now Kings Cross Thameslink, before the
BedPan electrification? I am pretty sure it wasn't where the Kings Cross
Thameslink entrance is, but I can't recall quite where it was.

IIRC either St Chads Place or the even shorter road between Grays Inn
Road and Caledonian Road.

When the Metropolitan and Circle platforms were alongside what is now Kings
Cross Thameslink there was said to be a subway to that station from the
Kings Cross concourse. Can any remains of it be seen anywhere, and in
particular, was any of it incorporated into the Piccadilly to Kings Cross
Thameslink subway?

....since that road is called "Kings Cross Bridge", it sounds possible.
