LO do have a point in that the Bakerloo might actually take up the
slack (and given that most people aren't actually going *to* Euston it
probably will), with people changing from that as appropriate. But
does the Bakerloo have capacity?

There are actually quite a few employers around Euston (e.g. UCLH,
UCL, University of London),

Inland Revenue HQ, Network Rail HQ, Wellcome Trust HQ, a lot of big shops
and offices on Tottenham Court Road and in Fitzrovia ...

This is the point i always make in relation to the Watfoloo plan - the
Euston area is a fairly major traffic generator in its own right, like
Waterloo. Re-routing trains which go there to go somewhere else is going
to inconvenience rather a lot of people. Yes, there will be many others
who are better served by a route that goes into the west end, but it's far
from clear that they're in a majority.
