The west end of the Victoria Line platforms are under the north side of
Euston Road, just west of York Road (about where the newspaper stand is).
The east end is under the west side of Caledonian Road outside number 7,
opposite Omega Place.

About 60 metres northwest of the old Thameslink station building, then.


Have any external changes been made to the KX Thameslink station, (the
fascia for instance) to reflect its new LU only role?

The big 'King's Cross Thameslink' sign at the front has been removed,
and several square-shaped plastic sheets (with the blue/red Underground
roundel on a white background) have been placed along the glass wall and
perpendicular to the side of the roof as well.

Come of think of it, there are also blue 'KING'S CROSS ST. PANCRAS
STATION' signs just above the doors and (unsurprisingly) plenty of
notices stating that FCC now stop at StP instead.

That said, someone did ask me 'are the trains on strike?' when they saw
that the Thameslink platforms were closed off (we were beside the metal
gate next to Platform A at the time). I sent him to StP, and later on
suddenly wondered if he was actually looking for the tube.

The mural of the intertwined LU / BR logos is once gain back on
display, having been covered up by an FCC hoarding advising of
Thameslink's move to St. Pancras. Of course this mural is now somewhat
inaccurate!

What is strange is that passengers who don't have tickets are directed back
to the main ticket halls in order to get in. Is there a plan to have ticket
selling capabilities at the former Thameslink entrance?

I've sent a query to LUL (via their online feedback form) regarding
their position on the Pentonville Road entrance to KXSP and will report
back once they reply back to me.

I passed by the said entrance last Monday and I noticed a couple of new
debit/credit card-only TVMs, but they weren't operational at the time.

No doubt he found it there, then. :-)
