Mar 2015, Clive Page remarked: - a station connecting to both Euston and King’s Cross, instead of at King’s Cross only That seems very sensible. If only they had thought of that when planning HS2. But it just occurs to me, perhaps they could add to the new station a pair of moving walkways connecting Euston with the King's Cross-St.Pancras complex? This would be greatly appreciated by all those who currently slog along the uneven pavements, exposed to the weather, between these two locations. It would also connect Eurostar/HS1 services and HS2, which currently have this large air gap between them. This idea crops up regularly (for as long as I can remember). I think the problem is the number existing things both above and below the ground over the route. -- Roland Perry |

I think the problem is the number existing things both above and below the ground over the route. I'm not sure there's much under Brill Place / Phoenix Road. I wonder if there would be enough demand for a constant walkway in each direction... the distance is about half the distance between Gatwick North and South terminals, so perhaps a shuttle vehicle might have a narrower footprint and work out both quicker and cheaper. Or maybe a tram, and extend it to Peckham :-) |
