That has been considered, but it's frequently been knocked back as
demand into Euston is pretty high.


You make the incredibly stupid mistake of assuming that nearly everyone
travelling to Euston is only going as far as Euston. For everyone else,
the north london line makes plenty of decent connections, or at least it
would if they could be bothered to reopen York Road.


So let me get this straight: if they reopened York Road, at the cost of
god knows how many hundreds of millions of pounds, then the NLL option
would offer "plenty of decent connections". As opposed to the Euston
option, which costs nothing, and offers plenty of extremely good
connections. Okay, i can agree with that.
