That's quite slow. If you could include a tube to Golder's Green you could then catch a 102

or tube to Kentish Town, then mainline train

Sorry, Jno, Transport For London route-planning links 'time out', so they won't work.
Anyway, I'm confused because we've already established (in a previous thread) that it's only an 11 minute train journey from Cricklewood to St Pancras (which is next door to King's Cross Station).
If you actually need to get to Euston it's possible to walk from St Pancras. (I've done it a couple of times recently). Alternatively it's just one stop on the Underground (on either the Victoria Line or Northern Line) from King's Cross/St Pancras to Euston. (If you'd rather take a bus, services 10, 30, 73 & 91 all link St Pancras to Euston).
As Jno's post attempted to indicate, it's not that easy solely by bus. You can check your travel options here:

no, they don't. King's Cross does have step-free street access, according to the tube map, though not from the Northern Line. However, at Euston this seems to apply only to maiinline services.
According to this website, Cricklewood station is poor for accessibility, though accessible taxis are available once you're there

So yes, buses sound best, but will probably take an hour or so incluidng the walking at either end.

That link to the National Rail website (re Cricklewood Station) seems to indicate problems mainly for wheelchair users, rather than for those who've got other mobility problems. It shows that Platform 1 (southbound) has step-free access, so you should have no problems travelling FROM Cricklewood, assuming that the trains use Platform 1 rather than Platform 3, which will be the usual way of operating the station. (The arrival at St Pancras is at street level because the train is a National Rail service, not an Underground one).
Access between platforms at Cricklewood is by using the underpass. There's a ramp from Platform 1. Platforms 2 and 3 are accessed by 27 steps (broken into a run of 12 and then another run of 15). Platform4 is accessed by 22 steps (11 + 11). Hover your mouse over the relevant features for pictures of the platforms, ramps and steps:

If you use the journey planner link I've provided above you will be able to select relevant options under 'My mobility requirements'.
