Leaked report: Why Euston Tube stations need urgent upgrade

Available for over a year

Euston and Euston Square underground stations need to be urgently upgraded or will "both cease to function as reliable stations in peak hours" due to overcrowding, according to a leaked report sent to 麻豆社 London. It went on to say that the gatelines - the rows of ticket turnstiles - at both stations regularly need to close to remain safe. Not only this "there is no clear direction" to resolve these issues and that Euston Square does not meet fire regulations, the report added. Transport for London (Tfl) has said it "would never allow a situation where a TfL-run station was unsafe". 麻豆社 London's Tom Edwards has the story. (Image credit: Getty Images)
