Watchdog warns that last-minute announcements and inadequate facilities exacerbate dangerous conditions during service disruptions.
- London TravelWatch has criticized the high levels of overcrowding at Euston Station, particularly during train service disruptions.
- Network Rail has been faulted for converting the main departure board into an advertising screen, which has not improved the passenger experience.
- The Office of Rail and Road issued an improvement notice to Network Rail last year, but concerns about overcrowding and safety remain.
- Plans to expand Euston's concourse and modernize the station are contingent on securing additional government funding.
- The future of the HS2 high-speed rail line's extension to Euston remains uncertain, pending government decisions on funding and route termination.
