Euston Underground Station – The Lost Tunnels is the name of the latest
Hidden London tour by the London Transport Museum, and on a warm
Thursday afternoon last week I took the tour and descended beneath
Euston station to find a time capsule from the 1960s.

The tour started at the original Euston station of the Charing Cross,
Euston and Hampstead Railway. The station is one of Leslie Green’s
distinctive station designs and is the red building on the corner of
Melton Street and Drummond Street, on the western side of Euston mainline station.

Thanks, I was just looking at your earlier one for Charing Cross,

and it looks like the escalators leading to the Jubilee platforms are
still there... I thought they'd been removed and reused elsewhere.


I thought all the Tube escalators were custom built? There might be some
components that could be re-used, but it's probably not worth the effort to
recover what are probably worn items with a limited remaining life.
