Perhaps, but what if you wanted to get off at a calling point? The train maybe going to London, for instance, and I want to get off at Milton Keynes.

Went through Euston Sunday night on the way back to Manchester form Paris, and have to say it isn't a very inviting station to be at, at all. Concrete mess I would have to say. A complete redesign is whats needed with, certainly, a lot more light needs to be let into the place.
