"This is HS2 Ltd’s advice to Government,
which examines, following consultation,
the route selection process we adopted,
leading to identification of the consultation
route for the first phase of HS2 between
London and the West Midlands.
"Following further examination, we
consider there is no reason to change our
recommended stations as the consultation
proposal of four stations, and their
locations, would deliver the best balance
between capacity of the line and benefits
to passengers. In particular, we confirm
the opportunity for enhanced connectivity
in London created by a station at Old Oak
Common, which would be chosen by
about a third of HS2 passengers, thereby
aiding passenger dispersal, and the case
for a central London terminus at Euston."
"There could be a case for providing a
direct link for suburban trains between
the West Coast Main Line (WCML) and
Crossrail, although we consider that this
should not alter the designs for Euston,
and that if it were to be pursued it should
be built after phase one of HS2."
[Transport for London favours using the Dudding Hill Freight Line instead, to reach the WCML.]
