Euston northern line

Is there a place where you can see both northern Line NB departure
board so you can see where the next train to Golders Green will be?

Following the modernisation of the station there is a bank of display
panels in the ticket hall before you reach the ticket gates. This
shows the next 3 departures / waiting times for each platform. You
should be able to see which platform will be served first by an
Edgware branch train.

Good luck trying to get down to the platform in time if the next train
is 1 min away :)

Is it like Camden Town where they don't necessarily show the next
train if it's too close? I find it extremely confusing that the
displays on the platform are not consistent when I get there.

Fair point but I've made it from ticket hall to n/b Victoria line (about
the longest distance below ground) and caught a train shown as 2 mins
away on the t/hall display.

So theres no way if your transferring from the Victoria to the
Northern . Is there a map of the LU portion of Euston ?

If you're doing a cross-platform interchange, it's probably worth just
sticking with the City branch unless you can see there's such a long
gap that it's worth trekking over to the Charing Cross.

If you are going northbound to southbound or vice versa (eg Highbury
to Golders Green), the best thing is to use the staircase at the
western end of the platforms*, and again you are so much nearer to the
City branch that it's probably worth sticking with unless you see that
there's a huge gap in service.

Don't go up and down the huge escalators unless you have mobility
problems.

*Directed as to the emergency staircase, but effectively creates a
passage between the two sets of City/Victoria platforms.

Just as a vaguely related aside...I regard as one of my best bits of
commuter navigation getting off the fast train from Harrow &
Wealdstone (platform 10) and managing to catch my connecting train
from platform 5 at Kings Cross in *five* minutes by way of the
Victoria line (possible by the fact the Vic train's doors closed a
couple of seconds after I jumped aboard and the same set of doors are
closest to both sets of routes to both mainline stations). :)
