> Why would a hs2 user be connecting on from Euston? Or indeed from St Pancras (other than maybe Kent and Europe) They might want somewhere on the line towards Watford. Or the Northern line. Or the Victoria line. Or the Circle line. Or Thameslink. Or one of the Great Northern lines. Or they might be travelling to one of the tech offices or hedge funds around that Warren Street area (where e.g. Facebook and Twitter are), or UCL and their big hospital, or the British Library, or that whole King's Cross biomedical campus area, or that big new development around Central St Martins, or the hotels on Russel Square, or the whole Camen Town area, or... It's hard to imagine Old Oak Common will be quite as much of a destination as that central area, at least for several decades. The redevelopment Stratford has been a huge success, probably the best you could hope for, and Stratford has a huge amount of transport interchange options. But it would still be a massive blunder for HS1 to have terminated there rather than continuing into St Pancras.
