Although, I am not convinced that a Central London (Well Camden)
terminal is impossible. Accessing Euston with its spare capacity
would not be that difficult.


Not having a terminus in Central London seems to be madness, as you'd
lose a lot of time getting to/from the terminus by creakingly slow
LUL/LOROL.

Euston would seem to be a good idea, given that it (unlike the other
termini) has plenty of spare platform capacity.

In this BBC piece today about Adonis' latest speech:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7964727.stm
"...A Times newspaper [article] has suggested there might be an interchange
near Wormwood Scrubs in west London, where passengers would switch onto the
Crossrail line - also scheduled for construction - into London.

"The rail industry doesn't think much of that idea," commented the BBC's Tom
Symonds. "Its got to go into Euston," he quoted a senior engineer at the
conference as saying.
