[[Silverlink]] also run various services to Northampton via Watford Junction, Hemel Hempstead and [http://miltonkeynes.openguides.org Milton Keynes]. They used to run slower but cheaper services to Birmingham but don't any more - the cheaper alternative are [[Chiltern Railways]] from [[Marylebone station|Marylebone]].

 Silverlink also run a stopping service to Birmingham via Milton Keynes.

==== Architecture ====

The modern building dates from 1968. It is generally agreed to be the worst of the central London terminuses, both ugly and unfriendly to use. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euston article].

Food options are mediocre. Apart from Upper Crust, Burger King and their ilk, a Whistlestop shop by the Silverlink platforms is the best bet on the station. If you've got twenty minutes, you could get a takeaway meal from [[African Kitchen, NW1 2HN | African Kitchen]] in [[Drummond Street | Drummond St]] next door.

Public toilets are situated in the northern corner of the station near platform 1 - entry costs 20p
