Euston St Pancras railway station [1] is a proposed station on the future Crossrail 2 line in the United Kingdom linking Hertfordshire and north-east London to south-west London and Surrey.

Contents

Connections with surrounding stations

The station would be integrated into Euston and St. Pancras mainline stations, as well as Euston Underground station. [2] Access to King's Cross station, and King's Cross St Pancras Underground station would 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 are proposed to be under Somers Town: from just south of the Eversholt Street and Drummond Crescent 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.

The North Western and Charing Cross Railway (NW&CCR) was a railway company established in 1864 to construct an underground railway in London. The NW&CCR was one of many underground railway schemes proposed for London following the opening in 1863 of the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway, but was one of only a few to be authorised by Parliament. The company struggled to raise funding for the construction of its line and was twice renamed, to the Euston, St Pancras and Charing Cross Railway and the London Central Railway, before the proposals were abandoned in 1874.
