Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 24 February (HL1714) and 9 March (HL1715), whether the HS2-related works at Euston Station that are required irrespective of any design changes, include ground anchors to sustain the wall and structures at Park Village East and other works necessary to accommodate a three-tunnel design; and whether all design options have been subject to a full risk analysis.

The provision of works to specifically accommodate a three-tunnel design do not form part of the current early HS2 works being undertaken at Euston.

In response to the Oakervee Review, the Department has commissioned a study looking into the efficiency of the future Euston station, including the station approaches. The outcomes of this study will inform the development of the designs of HS2 Euston station and approaches. The selected designs taken forward will be subject to full risk analysis as they are progressed.
