IMAGES of how Euston will be transformed by a £2.6 billion HS2 highspeed station and a new Tube station have been revealed.
Architects say the HS2 station will have the longest concourse in the UK at more than 300 metres, while the Tube station will offer quicker interchanges than King’s Cross — including a direct underground link with Euston Square station.
The HS2 station’s roof panels will be made of anodised aluminium, probably in a “warm gold” colour, in the style of a “butterfly opening its wings”.
Declan McCafferty, partner at Grimshaw architects, said: “People will be blown away by the grandeur of what we are proposing. What we have got is a really fantastic public space design.”
