Default Sir Terry Farrell backs Euston as venue for London high speedrail hub

Presumably this would be the existing Euston station not a new one.

Building a new station when a perfectly good one exists already
strikes me as an outrageous, though not entirely untypical, big state
Labour idea.

A preference for bull**** over engineering elegance always has been a
notoriety of the big state socialist way of thinking.

As for integration, surely Euston, St Pancras and Kings Cross are
already close enough together to be considered as one station.

All it would take would be a few travelators, perhaps underground; to
sell the idea of one integrated station.

It would certainly be no worse than most airports.


IMHO it is a bit of a stretch from Euston to Kings Cross/St P.
However, Euston would be improved by having better integration with
Euston Square station. Perhaps a now subsurface ticket hall in front
of the mainline station with links to the Northern, Victoria and H&C/
Circle Lines.
