Voila - the much requested bus link between Waterloo and St. Pancras
materialises in time for Eurostar's move. Though I bet the majority of
passengers using the 59 from Kings Cross down the Euston Road won't
have anything to do with Eurostar at all!
I'm curious as to how the bus will serve Euston bus station in the
(broadly) southbound direction, as the press release states. I guess
the bus will turn right off the Euston Road into Euston bus station,
before turning right onto Eversholt Street and then crossing Euston
Road to Upper Woburn Place and continuing down as normal.
Same as the 91, I assume - I _think_ that's what it does, but I try to
avoid buses via Euston for exactly that reason.

As a user of the 59, the following is likely:
From Upper Woburn Place, cross Euston Road into Eversholt St (you cant
turn right !), left into bus station round island at end and back to
normal 59 stop under the Eversholt St railway offices. Then cross
Eversholt St into Grafton Place, right into Churchway and left on
Euston Rd to KX. Return will be a reversal of above turning right off
Euston Rd into Churchway.
Thanks, that sounds likely. I'd overlooked the turnaround facility in
Euston bus station.
