> going? Did any ever terminate at Kings x?

Seems unlikely - I don't think either Sleeper would fit into the
platforms at King's Cross - they're 16-coach formations. I understand
this is one of the reasons they go from Euston, even if it means
spending an hour crossing from ECML to WCML and reversing in Willesden
yard or vice versa. As others have said, this would make the other
direction seem more likely in the morning so I'm afraid I can't
explain what you saw any further!
