The original plan was for Euston station to have 11 platforms for HS2, but this was revised down to 10 in the Oakervee review in 2020, leaving virtually no spare capacity.
The confusion surrounding Euston station's capacity grew when the Rail Minister confirmed a six-platform station, despite expectations of further revisions under new government management.
Six platforms would allow for 10 trains per hour to Birmingham, though ideally, seven platforms would be needed to adequately meet service demand.
Official government policy states that a six-platform station will be built, but ongoing reviews indicate that these plans may still change significantly.
