It won't be very attractive to international travellers if once they arrive
at St P. they have to schlep over to euston or paddington with all their
luggage by foot or tube. Would a large junction matter? Its not like theres
trains leaving every minute clapham junction style.

Euston currently has 9tph of IC services. I would anticipate that
most or all of those would be replicated/replaced on the HSL, maybe
more. That's too much for complex junctions.

It's no more or less attractive to international travellers than a
large airport. Better than swapping terminals at Thiefrow, and
probably a shorter walk than between two most distant gates at Gatwick
as well.

And St. P is full. It was too small to start with for what has been
crammed into it, in domestic terms. Yet a move there would leave
Euston only needing about 6-7 of its 17 platforms, which would be a
bit wasteful.
