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. ;-) But it could be held up by fibreglass replica caryatids! Perhaps modelled after the celebrated Ms Katie Price? tom -- A hypothesis or theory is clear, decisive, and positive, but it is believed by no one but the man who created it. Experimental findings, on the other hand, are messy, inexact things, which are believed by everyone except the man who did that work. -- Harlow Shapley |
