Government Commits to HS2 Tunneling to Euston Station

Chancellor Rachel Reeves announces funding to extend HS2 to central London, aiming to boost private investment and local growth.

The UK government has confirmed funding for tunneling work to extend the HS2 high-speed rail line to London Euston station.
The project aims to catalyze private investment in the Euston area, supporting economic growth and job creation.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves' announcement follows previous uncertainty over funding, with former plans relying heavily on private sector contributions.
The tunneling will involve a 4.5-mile stretch from Old Oak Common to Euston, with work set to start in 2026, subject to change.
The cost of the Euston HS2 station has escalated to nearly £5 billion, with ongoing discussions about how to finance further development.
