DOOM: HS2

[AtW]

“HS2 may not reach central London as inflation soars

The flagship scheme has been hit by soaring prices, with officials reportedly considering delaying the project for up to five years

Instead of running to Euston, trains would stop at a new hub at Old Oak Common in the suburbs of west London, meaning commuters would need to finish their journeys on the tube.“

"HS2 will run to central London, Jeremy Hunt says

Chancellor moves to quash reports that high-speed rail link might not terminate at Euston

The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, has moved to quash speculation that HS2 trains would not run to central London, saying he did not see “any conceivable circumstances” in which the planned Euston terminus would not go ahead.

It had been reported that the high-speed rail network could instead terminate permanently in the western suburbs of the capital, stopping short of central London to save money."
