That's one thing that St Pancras only managed to get right with the
latest redevelopment, giving us that new basement-level shopping mall
and concourse, tucked nicely away from the trains.

It's only "tucked away" from the domestic trains because the latter have
been relegated to a windswept 1950's loo-wall structure built entirely
outside the original station, and a route-march from the rest of
humanity.

Windswept is good, given the diesel fumes.

A windswept concourse/waiting area is bad, though. The platform area
for EMT at St Pancras would be fine if it were properly enclosed with
doors through to the trains.

The platforms at Euston are hardly attractive, but the point is that
you don't spend very long there.

Not when the wind is blowing driving rain onto the platform!
