Whoever first suggested that life is about the journey, not the destination, evidently never began their trip at London Euston. From its oppressive architecture to its heaving concourses, it is the train station that hope forgot. But there may finally be some good news on the horizon for weary travellers.

That is because train operators have begun to trial the revolutionary idea of early boarding. It follows a warning from London TravelWatch, a passenger watchdog, that “high levels of overcrowding” were “putting passengers in danger.”
