<p> </p><p>The Secretary of State is seeking powers through the Hybrid Bill to construct
the HS2 scheme as set out in that Bill. This does not include a new station adjacent
to Curzon Street as proposed. There are a range of potential infrastructure schemes,
such as new stations, which could further increase connections for the travelling
public above and beyond the scheme set out in the Bill. The Department is not evaluating
the case for such proposals and will therefore not undertake a study on a new station
to serve Curzon Street. The Department will continue to work with local authorities
who are taking the lead in identifying and evaluating options for wider connectivity
that will extend the benefits offered by HS2.</p>
