That said, I would think long and hard about a "rebuild", especially
given the dramatic changes in layout at Euston since then. * It could go
somewhere else, I suppose. * After all, Temple Bar was brought "back" to
a completely different location but looks (and functions) very well
there.


Now where might the Arch (sorry, "Propylaeum") go?


It has never been suggested it should be rebuilt in its original
location. That would mean placing it roughly where the gateline is for
the London Midland/London Overground platforms. Instead it is proposed
to re-site it between the existing *lodges on Euston Road, something
that should have been done in 1962 IMHO.


Would be interested to see where if they could drive a bendy bus
through it in that spot into/out of the bus station. Although, if
Boris gets his way, I suppose it would only be a large double-decker
instead.
