I can't help but wonder why they didn't use a disused platform at Holborn,
Charing Cross or Liverpool Street.

Presumably because all of those platforms are sectioned off from the
remainder of the stations in question and there may be issues about
allowing large volumes of people into those areas which are not normally
publicly accessible. It would also require people to hold tickets to
enter real platform areas while the Euston Square display will not
require payment.


Plus of course the fact that it might be a bit of a bugger getting a
(presumably) static mock up of a tube car down there...

four blokes in hi-vi's one on each corner of a tube car with no wheels - "to

Err, Sid? Oh bugger, who's got the first aid box..."
