Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the latest budget estimate for the Old Oak Common station on the Great Western Main Line; how many platform faces are included; and whether this is included in the overall HS2 budget as set out in the integrated Rail Plan.

Old Oak Common will contain 14 platforms: 6 subterranean High Speed platforms and 8 conventional rail platforms.

Within the Target Cost for Phase One - which is included in the Integrated Rail Plan (IRP) - the budget allocated by HS2 Ltd for Old Oak Common station, including contingency for risk, is £1.67bn (2019 prices). A more detailed breakdown of costs cannot be provided as this information is commercially sensitive.
