Kings Cross Station Redevelopment - News Update Nov 2007
Network Rail today confirmed a multi-million pound package of local community benefits as part of the £400m transformation of King's Cross station. Following the receipt of planning consent in April 2007, Network Rail has worked with Camden Borough Council to agree a number of schemes as part of the wider development, which will deliver specific benefits for the surrounding area.

The 50 million passengers who will use the station each year will benefit from an entirely restored, lighter and more attractive station. Improvements include:

- A new 5,000 sq metre concourse - over twice the size of the existing one with new shops and restaurants- providing new integrated transport links with international and domestic services from St Pancras, as well as London Underground
- A restored Grade 1 listed façade of the station which will be achieved by demolishing the 'temporary' current single-storey front to the station. The train shed and platforms will be refurbished and the roof replaced
- An additional platform, increasing reliability and capacity at the station
- A new open piazza in front of the station, larger than Leicester Square.
