Cold in an emotional sense, maybe. *But not in a physical sense -
while people are freezing their proverbials off in nice-looking
traditional stations, the Euston concourse is nice and warm, and
equally nice and cool on a hot day.


With that I cannot disagree.

It has its faults, but it is probably my favourite London terminus.

So often Neil, I agree with your comments. On this one we differ.
Euston is my least favorite.

Euston Station is architecturally unappealing (to me). It is way back
from Euston Road. When one has reached the building it is still a
long way to the platforms and their awful ramps.
