Anger at King’s Cross plan to remove trains from departure boards earlier - here’s how you can beat it Network Rail is trialling final boarding calls for long-distance trains ‘so people don’t rush’.
King’s Cross allows three minutes due to the distance of the departure concourse from platform 0 – Network Rail says this can take up to four minutes to reach for elderly travellers or those with luggage.
“The trial will just see the last tannoy announcements being made four minutes before departure on long-distance trains to give people plenty of time to get to their trains.
“At King’s Cross, we display long-distance trains on the main departure boards until three minutes before departure, and this has been normal practice for some time.
Trains departing London’s King’s Cross station will disappear from information screens three minutes before they are due to leave in a move to stop passengers from rushing to the platform.
