Transport for London (TfL) has sought assurances from Network Rail and HS2 Ltd that the redevelopment of Euston station will include provisions for Crossrail 2 access should the line ever get built.
Network Rail is concerned about the amount of funding it has been provided to carry out enabling works on behalf of HS2 Ltd at Euston and Old Oak Common stations.
Network Rail has said that improvements to the ramped access to platforms at Euston Station in London have removed bottlenecks and will bring to an end the “Euston Stampede” that resulted as passengers rushed through the restricted space.
HS2 Ltd has received planning approval from London Borough of Camden’s planning committee to build its construction site accommodation on the grounds of the former Maria Fidelis School, incorporating Camden’s new Construction Skills Centre.
With thousands of neighbours, a complex web of utilities to divert and a live railway just 100m or so away, sites don’t come any more constrained than at HS2’s Euston development.
Additional cost pressures on the first phase of High Speed 2 (HS2) and delays to some construction work around Old Oak Common station have been revealed in a Department for Transport (DfT) update on the project's progress.
High Speed 2 (HS2)'s Euston station will be scaled back from 11 to 10 platforms, it has been confirmed.
HS2 Ltd has said it is "bitterly disappointed" that charges against activists behind the Euston protest tunnels have been dropped.
Protest tunnels dug beneath HS2’s proposed Euston station cost the project’s promoter £3.5M, Highbury Magistrates’ Court was told.
‘Alarmed’ MPs have urged the Department for Transport (DfT) to make a final decision on High Speed 2’s (HS2’s) Euston station.
