That's a disingenuous argument.

If someone goes to Paddington, buys a ticket and waits for a train,
they end up spending their time in the freezing, smelly train shed -
unless they make a particular effort not to.

If someone goes to Euston and does the same, they will end up waiting
on the unfreezing, unsmelly concourse [which is also fully enclosed],
and will only have to enter the train shed when they're already
walking to their train.

No, that's a disingenuous argument. There's no particular reason to
wait on one side of the glass wall than the other. Any more than
people have to wait in the suburban platforms shed at Euston, even
though they do.

Yes there is - it's where you are, and it's where the departures board
is.

I agree. Euston is nice because it doesn't feel like a station while
you wait. The trains are kept out of the way, and the whole place
feels more like a shopping mall.


(presumably the people waiting in the suburban shed at Euston are
doing so because it's the only way they can guarantee a seat when the
next train arrives. the suburban bit of Euston is the least well-
designed IMO)

Still better designed than the suburban platforms at Paddington.
