A consultations has been launched on the capacity improvements to Holborn. The new entrance on Procter Street and the accompanying tunnels will allow the station double in size. One of the old Aldwych platforms will be used for the Piccadilly concourse.
Procter Street will have to close for 4 years to allow the expansion (will be interesting to see what diversions will be put in place). The Kingsway entrance will close for 18 months to allow lifts to be installed.
Theres a little time line that extends all the way to 2027 at the bottom of the page.

I think the only real concern for me is the 18 month closure of the main entrance on kingsway, i think that this should be reconsidered and with this entrance possibly becoming exit only using 2 pf the escalators.
