Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many HS2 station platforms are currently planned for its Euston station; how many trains per hour they can accommodate; and what plans they have to release any land no longer required.

As set out in the October 2020 Report to Parliament on HS2, in response to a recommendation from the Oakervee Review about looking into the efficiency of the Euston station, the move to a smaller, simpler 10-platform station design at Euston has now been confirmed. Moving to this revised HS2 Euston station design maintains the station infrastructure capacity to run 17 trains per hour. The space released from the removal of platform 11 will be made available to Network Rail for railway operations and development.
