Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the business case for starting work on the tunnels between Old Oak Common and Euston now when there is still no approved design for the HS2 station at Euston.

Euston is key to realising HS2’s transformational growth benefits. Tunnelling to Euston from Old Oak Common is the most cost-effective approach, as the construction of Old Oak Common is set up for this purpose.

The Government has been collaborating with key partners to develop affordable, integrated plans for the Euston Station Campus, which will include the new HS2 station. We will set out more details in due course.
