Oh please! When was the last time you were actually in central London? Euston effectively has 3 tube lines underneath, and 3 more a very short walk away - C/M/H&C at Euston Square. The new station will link directly to these lines, if you care to to take the time to review the plans before commenting on them.
"short walk away" ... Have you ever tried to get from Euston to Euston Square, with four bags and three children, in the rain - and no trollies??

Are you saying that Euston TGV will link to the circle lines? If so, then why was this not done 50 years ago? Why wait until the nation is bankrupt, before someone decides to put in some necessary infrastucture? Nice to know that the authorities have their finger on the pulse of the nation's needs.


BTW: In the light of the UK hitting the £1 trillion debt mark, it has been announced that Edward George is seriously considering printing more £billions (I did warn of this counter-intuitive tactic a few days ago). In which case, if the government is sensible, the money may be available to build Silver-Boris without too much private investment. To do it properly, instead of on the cheap, this should be a government project anyway.




Silver - you need to take another look at the plans. The current idea is that any trains linking between HS1 and HS2 would not call at either Euston or St Pancras - and there lies the problem!
Nice to know that the authorities have their thinking-caps on !! No matter what happens with Silver-Boris, I can see an absolute c*ck-up comming.
