Which shows the closest platform ends are some distance apart. Indeed
Euston Square is closer to Warren Street [Northern Line] than Euston
mainline.

Possibly in terms of the other two lines there which seem to lie
slightly south-east of Euston station, but in terms of Euston station
itself the platforms run west to east pretty much under the road past
Euston Square Gardens, i.e. the front of the station. So when going
from Euston to Euston Square, one walks unnecessarily in the wrong
direction before accessing the platforms at their western extreme end.
An access at the eastern end would be a whole train-length closer to
Euston.

I'm sure Euston wins on connections, but you could link both with a
distance similar to that you can walk undercover at Kings X St P. We
could then have stations where you can get a train *or* walk, like in
Paris... Chatelet Les Halles, somewhere around Auber/St Lazare?
