About Euston

The original Euston station opened in 1837 but was completely rebuilt in conjunction with the electrification of the West Coast Main Line between 1963 and 1968.

Two Portland stone entrance lodges and the war memorial still survive from the old station and are situated on Euston Road.

The station serves over 71 million people each year.
