Worried about no finding platform at Euston Mainline Train Station
Hi everyone
I am catching a London Midland Train from Watford Junction to Euston Station tomorrow morning.
Ive never been to Euston Station before and am concerned that when I get off the London Midland train, that I will not be able to find the platform for the fast Virgin Train to Manchester Piccadilly ... I have a connection time of 15 minutes and can imagine that time will go very quickly if I mess things up by getting lost.
Does anyone know if the London Midland trains stop in the same area as the fast trains, or will it stop in another area of the station.
I know that there will be always be staff at the station to give me a helping hand, but any information that I am armed with before I leave will make me a more happy traveller ... Thankyou in anticipation

You'll be fine, the platforms are like the teeth of a comb, with the concourse as the 'spine', come off your platform and you'll easily find the over head displays showing which platform you need to head to. But I tend to find the Virgin trains to Manchester don't list the platform until less than 10 mins before departure so you'll have plenty of time.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

I work above the station and its very easy to find your way around:D
There's 18 platforms, all heading north. Overground services normally terminate in the middle of the platforms.
When you exit the platform, make your way to the main concourse and read the information there:o
If you're having problems, just ask any Virgin Staff which you can find in the ticket office area:o
Here is a map of the station just in case you're still worried:o
