Default Euston Station Underground upgrade a joke.

I was really pleased to see the removal of the bland, uninteresting,
boring late 60's tiling, and was looking forward to walking through a
station that doesn't cause clinical depression.
So was great to see the new tiling was identical to the old, nice one
tubelines.
Would it really have been so hard to make the station look just a
little bit modern.


As a matter of personal taste, I quite like the bland Victoria Line
style.

Euston could be worse. Some of the recent jobs (Highgate, Bethnal
Green) are IMO pretty badly designed and executed, whilst Tower Hill
now looks like a cross between the 1970s subway systems you get under
major road intersections and a public convenience.

IMO the current round of station "upgrades" (why can't they just use
the correct term - refurbishment) will come to be deeply lamented.
