About Euston station
Euston began as two separate tube stations a few weeks apart. The City and South London Railway’s extension from Angel opened on 12 May 1907, with a building by Sidney Smith on Eversholt Street, and the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway followed on 22 June 1907 with a Leslie Green building at the corner of Drummond Street and Melton Street. The two were close enough for a deep-level interchange, and once lifts from inside the main line station could serve both, the street buildings closed on 30 September 1914. The C&SLR building was demolished in 1934 for Euston House; the Leslie Green one survives as an electrical substation.
The station was rebuilt in the 1960s for the Victoria line. A new tunnel was dug for northbound Bank branch trains so that the Victoria line platforms could sit between the two Bank branch tracks, giving cross-platform interchange in both directions, and escalators replaced the lifts. The Victoria line platforms opened on 1 December 1968. Three of the four Northern line platforms still date from 1907, and disused passages keep tiling and posters from the 1960s.
