Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what was the business justification and cost of creating a new taxi rank at Euston station, and what representations they have received from taxi drivers who find it too difficult to use.

The taxi rank was relocated in April 2024 to enable the construction of the HS2 station. A number of studies were carried out to find a suitable location, concluding with the choice of Euston Square Gardens East which was agreed with Camden Council, Network Rail (NR) and Transport for London (TfL).

TfL have received representations from taxi drivers relating to issues accessing the rank from the west due to a banned left turn in to Eversholt Street and Churchway. These left turns were banned to improve road safety and to help manage traffic flow along the Inner London Ring Road.

Access was worsened for a temporary period prior to Christmas 2024 whilst urgent road works took place on Upper Woburn Place.
