THE MAIN CONCOURSE |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
This is a rectangular space from which platforms 1 to 8 leave from the north.
The main entrance is into the south side and there are two side entrances. The west entrance leads from the concourse, just north of the new entrance to the Underground station, into Pancras Road, beside the taxi pick-up point, whilst the east entrance leads into the concourse from York Way, beside the taxi drop-off point.
The new entrance from the Underground station is north of the main ticket office. You enter the concourse facing east, towards the stairwell for the former entrance. Turn left and continue (north) to platform 8.
You enter via the main entrance facing north. Platforms 1 to 8 are numbered from the right, platforms 1 and 8 being single platforms, whilst 2-3 4-5 and 6-7 are islands.
As you leave Euston Road towards the entrance, the wall curves left from east to north. There are two pairs of automatic doors across each half of the main entrance, with tactile matting beyond. The west section of the entrance brings you into the southwest corner of the concourse, with the main ticket office to your left (west) and the entrance from the Underground station beyond this.
Note that there is still extensive building work in progress at this station, so details are liable to change without our knowledge.
