HS2 to Euston? No thanks!

• “THEIR lawns or our jobs” says Manchester. 

For people living around Euston it’s “Our homes, your white elephant”.  

People in the north-west may feel that Euston is a good destination for this line but where do you want to go? 

Brixton? 

Walthamstow? 

If you took the line to St Pancras or King’s Cross it would connect with six tube lines, Thameslink, HS1, and International services. 

If you took the line to Waterloo (former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone’s proposal) it would connect, underground, with two tube lines at Euston, an additional tube line at Tottenham Court Road, as well as the new Crossrail and on to Waterloo for yet another two tube lines, services to the south and south-east.

And, of course, there is the disused International connection (services to Germany have been mooted). 

Euston gives you two tube lines and services back to where you came from. 

So. No Manchester, I do not want HS2 in to Euston.
