HS2 has begun boring the tunnel between Old Oak Common in west London to Euston station.
The Department for Transport argues that taking HS2 to Euston will ensure maximum economic benefit from the new high-speed line.

Bringing HS2 to Euston is one part of the government’s plan for the station, which will be overseen by a new body, the Euston Delivery Company.
It aims to create an integrated transport hub, to include the new HS2 station, the redevelopment of the existing station, and an upgrade of the London Underground station.
