Euston Tube Station - Plans

Plans

Unlike its neighbour, King's Cross St. Pancras, and most of the other London mainline termini, Euston is not served by the Circle line. Euston Square tube station is just 250 m away and is served by the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. In December 2005 Network Rail announced plans to create a subway link between the station and Euston station as part of the re-development of Euston station. This will create a direct link for users of heavy rail services which terminate at Euston. These plans would also be pursued during a rebuilding for High Speed 2. Some plans see a direct connection being made as part of a new transport interchange project (though alternative plans have Euston Square connecting to Warren Street, which is also nearby).

There are also plans to rebuild the interchange level as part of a mobility impairment accessibility project, possibly restoring use of some of the disused lower level interchange passageways.

The planned segregation of Northern line services into two separate lines could help reduce confusion between the two Northern line platforms by renaming one (or both) of the lines (e.g. giving a "Northern line" and a "City & Southern line").

If the High Speed 2 line, which would terminate at Euston, goes ahead then Transport for London (TfL) plan to change the safeguarded route for the proposed Chelsea–Hackney line ("Crossrail 2") to include Euston between Tottenham Court Road and Kings Cross St. Pancras.
