Finsbury Park staircase closure

[philjo]

I saw a notice on the screens at a couple of FCC stations this morning warning of a forthcoming closure of the spiral staircases to the Victoria/Piccadilly Lines at Finsbury Park. They will be closed from mid-August until March 2014. during this time passengers changing from FCC to Victoria/piccadilly lines will need to leave the station & use the other entrance to access the Underground platforms or use Highbury & Islington or Kings Cross.

What work is being done during this closure period?

There are some details at http://www.londonreconnections.com/2013/the-past-and-future-of-finsbury-park/

They are reinstating the second spiral staircase so that up and down passengers can be separated.
