Why are warren street's platforms for the northern line on the
outside
of the tracks, with the platform entrance so far up to the ends?
The platforms are probably placed like that because there were
restrictions - either engineering or legal - on the running tunnels
"parting" to allow them to be placed inbetween.
The only thing I can think of is if the road narrowed by the station,
but it does the opposite - its wider here than at goodge street.

The entrance will
have been so placed when the escalators were added - the original
lift
landings being elsewhere and obviously directly below the station.

the bottom escalator landing is just south of being directly below the
station, and there is a blocked black door with grills in that heads
north from the landing, so that would be directly below the station,
but there is only one, and aren't there supposed to be two - one for
each direction, so that people don't get into a traffic jam after
leaving the lifts?

Or is it something they did recently - the tiling looks as if it has

recently been restored,
The tiling was replaced around 2000, but one segment with the original

"Euston Road" name has been retained within a wooden frame at platform

level.
I dont think ive seen that - is it southbound or northbound?

some modernising like blocking off a small passage at the
interchange
level that curves to the left,
Thinking about it, this must head due south, about half way down warren
street itself, (as the escalators to the victoria head south west)
which is totally bizarre - its the wrong direction to have been
something to do with the construction of the victoria line, the old
northern line lifts must be used for ventilation, and there isn't a
demolished building here anyway, so it cant be for that, so is there a
government bunker or something to the south of half way along warren
street, or maybe they just got the direction of the tunnel completely
wrong the first time, and didnt notice?
