However, Euston would be improved by having better integration with
Euston Square station. Perhaps a now subsurface ticket hall in
front of the mainline station with links to the Northern, Victoria
and H&C/ Circle Lines.


Yes, and a large arch at the entrance.

Agreed. An arch would be much better than that fugly propylaeum they
used to have there that the crusties and nostalgia freaks won't shut
up about.

Since Euston/St Pancras is to be the gateway to The North and the gateway to
The Continent, how about a Wembley-style arch stretching from Euston to St
Pancras, with gondolas hanging from it? That would show them uppity
Wuppertalers, and I think it might be cheaper than a subterranean
travelator.
