kingscrossaccess: Write a letter to the people that can make a bridge happen

Let's get something done here... Below is a list of people to write to. All you need to say is that:

1. We need a bridge giving east/west access across the tracks at the back of King's Cross Station

2. Network Rail are refusing to fund such a bridge

3. What are you (the person you are writing to) going to do about it?

If you want to include more than that, please do. For example, information from this site and from our leaflet might be helpful - there's a paragraph at the end of this posting that you could just copy and paste into your letter or email. If you can only write one letter or email, start with the first on the list below, alternatively, copy the full list of contacts and paste them into the 'to' line of your email. Remember to include your name and home address when sending letters or emails.

And, if you get a reply, let us know!

Example paragraph

Network Rail will be closing all entrances to King’s Cross and replacing them with a single entrance on the western side of the station, far from the neighbourhood on the north eastern side of the station- home to well over 17,000 people including a very high proportion of disabled people and carers, and thousands of employees. I want Network Rail to think again. They should replace the York Way/Wharfdale Road entrance with a footbridge across the tracks to the new Western Concourse. If they do not a daily total of over 3,400 people will be condemned to use York Way then Euston Road or Goodsway then Pancras Road – unsafe, dangerous and polluted. Please let me know in your reply how you will support our community to achieve this vital cross-borough link to and from what is becoming the biggest transport hub in Europe .
