The budget statement explicitly notes 'HS2 trains will run to Euston,' indicating the government's commitment to completing the underground tunnels, even as plans for the station itself remain unclear.
While there is significant uncertainty surrounding the plans for Euston station itself, the decision to proceed with digging the tunnels signals a critical step forward in the HS2 project, which is deemed easier and cost-effective to complete now.
The anticipated costs for the tunneling are near £1 billion, and discussions continue regarding renewed connectivity with HS1, although this could increase expenses and complicate the project's financial projections.
Appointing Bek Seeley to lead the Euston Housing Delivery Group implies that despite delays, there is an ongoing focus on revitalizing the local area, demonstrating the government's broader vision for HS2's impact beyond transportation.
