new platform Y at Kings Cross station

I work beside Kings Cross station, so I've been watching the developments at the station on a daily basis. The recent demolition of the buildings beside platform 1 near the junction (google map) of Wharfdale Road and York Way exposed the remains of the bridge which carried the former Battle Bridge Road. The stub of this bridge, shown below has been further pared back in this work. The bridge is part of a concerted campaign to get a link from the Islington side of the Kings Cross area into the actual station. Current plans will only allow access from the St Pancras or western side.

The new platform Y (planning application pdf), which is the cause of the recent demolition, will run along the old cab access road, shown in this photo taken in 2006. To the left in this photo is the current platform 1.

There is much change at Kings Cross, some of it I think is positive, if they can make it as nice as the St Pancras station, that would be great. The access issue is frustrating. My morning walk out of Kings Cross in the sunshine up York Way is not exactly unpleasant. A bridge over the platforms would be appreciated and route a large number of people away from the front of the station and thronging up York Way.
