One week to King’s Cross
The new King’s Cross station is due to open to the public next Monday, March 19. The works have offered a large new concourse, with more space, better facilities and new links with the Tube and St Pancras stations.
Other improvements include larger destination boards and clearer station announcements.
The existing building will only cater for arrivals until its demolition after the London Paralympic Games and Network Rail is distributing maps to help passengers to find their way to the new Western concourse.
Ian Fry, Network Rail’s programme director for the new station, said: “It’s just a few days to go before we usher in a new era for King’s Cross and everything is on track and looking good.
“I’m sure that regular users of the current station will be very pleased with the new concourse when it opens, but I’d encourage everyone to pick up one of the station maps we’re giving out this week and take a moment to consider their best route through their new station.”
