Considering that London Euston station is currently packed with trains every hour, it's obvious that the building of HS2 will require platform increases. But will it be a simple upgrade where the station will be extended while normal operations continue, or will the station shut and receive a full or even partial rebuild?
Personally I would hope that they did away with that 1960s trainshed design and tried to rebuild the station like it used to be but fit for the modern day passenger numbers. In particular, the Grand Hall and the Euston Arch (I call it the St. Pancras treatment). But that's just my preference, though I would like it if you gave your own opinion.
Simple question and easy thread really, but I imagine some might diverge and talk about the old Euston design returning. Leave your answers (or your opinions) below. Thanks.
