Rail industry leaders argue that fully developing HS2 to Euston and Crewe could net the government a 20 billion concession, contrasting sharply with current plans.
Investing an additional 3.5 billion to complete HS2’s terminal at Euston might initially seem costly, but would ultimately provide significant savings for the Treasury.

Despite hints from the transport secretary toward continuing HS2 to central London, the chancellor has been urging cuts, creating tension over funding sources.
