The main station is the southern perminus of the East Coast Mainline to Edinburgh and beyond, whilst The suburban section serves destinations to Stevenage, Cambridge and Peterborough.
The station is divided into two sections, which we shall call the main and suburban sections.
The main section, which lies east of the suburban section consists of a main concourse lying south of platforms 1 to 8 which run north. Platforms are numbered from 1 to 8, east to west. Platform 1 is a single platform which runs along the east side of the station, whilst platforms 2 - 3, 4 - 5 and 6 - 7 are island platforms. Platform 8 is physically an island platform with platform 9 of the suburban section, though there is no public access between these.
Most of the facilities: ticket office, bar, left luggage, etc. are along the west side of the station - along platform 8.
A bridge connects platforms 1 and 8, there's no access to this facility from other platforms.
This section of the station lies some distance north of Euston Road, which forms the southern boundary of the main station.
Unlike the main section, which has open platforms, the suburban platforms 9 - 11 are behind gate lines. a small concourse lies south of the platforms which run north. Platform 9, although physically an island platform with platform 8 of the main station, is regarded as a single platform as there is no public access between these. Platforms 10 and 11 are an island platform lying west of platform 9. Track 11 runs along the west side of the station, ending at the west wall of the concourse.
There is step-free access to all platforms, we therefore believe this station is accessible to wheelchair and Guide Dog users.
