It would be a "mega station" serving the existing Euston, King's Cross and St. Pancras main line stations.[2]

Connections with surrounding stations

The station will be integrated into Euston and St. Pancras mainline stations, as well as Euston Underground station. Access to King's Cross station, and King's Cross St Pancras Underground station will be via a short walk through St. Pancras station.[3] A link has been proposed to Euston Square station on the Underground, created as part of Euston's reconstruction for High Speed 2.[4]

Location

The platforms themselves are proposed to be under Somers Town: from just south of the Eversholt Street and Drummond Place junction in the west, to just north of the British Library at Ossulston Street in the east. Entrances to the station are proposed to be the existing entrance to Euston Underground station, and new entrances at the corner of Eversholt Street and Grafton Place, and inside St Pancras station, by the Thameslink platforms.[3]

Construction

Worksites proposed in the 2015 consultation are:[3]

  • north of Grafton Place (including the Travelodge)
  • between Doric Way and Drummond Place on the east side of Eversholt Street
  • between the British Library and Crick Institute
  • Euston Square Gardens.
