Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate his Department has made of the revised total volume in millions of cubic metres of spoil that will need to be removed from the Euston HS2 station and approach as a result of recent revisions to the plans for the HS2 throat and HS2 station design at Euston station.

HS2 Ltd are currently undertaking design and construction planning to identify and confirm volumes of excavated material that will be removed at Euston station. Current estimates are for some 1.1 million m3 to be removed from the Euston HS2 station (Stage A) and Euston approach. HS2 Ltd continue to develop the design to reduce the amount of excavated material that needs to leave the site.
