Kings Cross mainline to Victoria Line

[34D]

I don't think so, as I recall I had to literally walk right to the back of the Piccadilly platforms to use the tunnel to KX Thameslink and there was a short flight of steps at the end there then it turned right to go over the westbound Piccadilly tunnel, after that pretty much straight ahead and level all the way.

Peter is indeed correct - I assume the original remains for maintenance

Thanks.

I'd dread to think what a full render of the track and normal public access tunnels would look like.

If I'm remebering right its about 38 pages at A3 for a scale general arrangement 'map'

Again it depends on which end you call 'the back'.

If approaching on the escalator down from the Tube Ticket Hall (TTH on the plan), then after a slight left turn at the bottom of the escalator, you just used to walk straight ahead to access the steps up to the Thameslink access tunnel. This is where the lift is now located.

This alternative 3D view may make it clearer.

The back = the eastern end, furthest away from the original ticket hall with the bank of escalators that was involved in November 1987...


The "alternative 3D view" is less clear than the original!

That map is pretty good in 3D when you can actually move it around, as here, but it is drawn from memory so is a little out in places. The creator even concedes that Pentonville Road is missing entirely.

That's convenient when we're trying to discuss an exit to that particular road isn't it?! :roll:

The 'alternative 3D view' is actually a screenshot of this site. You can drag around to change the camera angle and zoom the mouse wheel in and out.

Wasn't that mentioned two posts before yours?
