Default (Times): Britain to have fastest train service in the world within 12 years

Travel *into* London for business is the most important (and largest)
market served by rail in London.


Sure, but even then, this is more than just Euston Road from Euston
Station to King's Cross, isn't it?

The UK is not like Germany with no particular centre. People are far
more likely to need to go *to* Central London than *from* the suburbs,
even given the population there.


OK, I got that point. But does London have one particular center
like one place or street crossing where everything happens and where
everybody wants or has to go? Don't people who arrive at Euston Road
from somewhere north do not have to use "the creakingly slow
LUL/LOROL", buses, or taxis?


Cheers,
L.W.
