No, but I do recall reading that, when she started writing about Kings
Cross, she was actually thinking of Euston.

they are so similar I suppose

Both being stations you end up in London at, if you start your journey in
Edinburgh.

More true for Glasgow than for Edinburgh?

JKR lived in Edinburgh and used to arrive (we are talking 20 years ago)
in London at Euston. I don't know what route she used to achieve that.

I do find it a bit odd. I lived in Edinburgh 20 years ago and frequently
went to London. The only time I'd arrive at Euston was with the sleeper.
Daytime journeys- it was always Kings Cross. Journey time was about the
same as today too...
