Perhaps a now subsurface ticket hall in front of the mainline station with links to the Northern, Victoria and H&C/ Circle Lines. Yes, and a large arch at the entrance. [Coat already on] Agreed. An arch would be much better than that fugly propylaeum they used to have there that the crusties and nostalgia freaks won't shut up about. [flame-proof overalls standing by] Since Euston/St Pancras is to be the gateway to The North and the gateway to The Continent, how about a Wembley-style arch stretching from Euston to St Pancras, with gondolas hanging from it? That would show them uppity Wuppertalers, and I think it might be cheaper than a subterranean travelator. Until I read your post, I doubted that it would have been possible for anyone to come up with an even more tacky idea for Euston Road than a 21st century restaurant-and-nightclub-housing semi-replica of a grotesque and entirely pointless 19th century propylaeum. It now appears that I was wrong. ;-) |
