There's are some artist's impressions of the station after the
concourse redevelopment at:

I wonder if this new lift will be under the "green oval" in front of the
station?

It looks too close to Euston Road to be that. I'm guessing that the
arrangement will mean that the lift machinery need not protrude above
the surface.
