Passengers at London Euston Station are facing overcrowding issues that have been described as 'dangerous' by commuters and a transport watchdog. Last-minute announcements and insufficient infrastructure are contributing to chaotic scenes and potential safety hazards.
Network Rail has been criticised by passengers for converting the main departure board in Euston's concourse into a large advertising screen, with smaller train information boards installed
One commuter told the BBC that the north-west London station was "straight up dangerous" and said she had been in "terrifying" crushes caused by crowds rushing for trains. “They announce it two minutes before . Good luck to you if you’ve got kids or disabled, you ain't getting on that train," she added.
Network Rail said there were plans to redevelop Euston, including a larger concourse, but these were subject to more government funding.
