Euston Arch to be rebuilt as nightclub

Euston works very well as a station if you're coming from the underground (but rather less well if you're on foot or bus) and is an excellent railway station. Far from being a deliberate snub to the past, is in many ways a 1960s reworking of what the LSWR did at Waterloo 40 years earlier, for much the same reason. Agreed with your post in general. Confused by the "bus" point though - Euston has a big bus station at the front with easy access to and from the station, unlike most other London terminals where you have to hunt for your stop across a variety of side-roads... Yes, it's just a wee bit further away than is convenient. Mind you, Waterloo's not brilliant for this, although it's not a particularly difficult walk. Euston has a couple of bus stops down side roads, too (Eversholt Street, for instance), and I'm fairly sure I've had to cross Euston Road to get some buses westbound down there (27?) that weren't serving the main bus station. There's not a lot wrong with it that couldn't be fixed either by moving the bus station nearer the concourse or the concourse nearer the bus station and diverting all buses serving the station through it (and, for that matter, covering it over a bit).
