answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>Yes, as noted in the last parliamentary report the Estimate at Completion (EAC) is currently being revised in light of the Network North Announcement. The EAC assessment included in that report had not yet taken into account the new delivery plan for Euston and therefore includes all scope relating to the delivery of the HS2 Euston station, encompassing scope which will be delivered utilising both public and private funding.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 13/05/2024 15:18:50 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what is the latest design for the approach tunnels and grade separation works for the HS2 approaches to Euston; how many station platforms are they designed to accommodate; whether this design has received full safety approval and from whom; and whether they plan to place a copy of the plans in the Library of the House.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2024 answer text <p>HS2 Ltd is responsible for designing and building the Euston Approaches. The Company is continuing to progress with the existing design for the approach tunnels and grade separation in line with the requisite technical, safety and environmental standards at all times. The design of the HS2 tunnels has been refined to minimise ground movement and settlement mitigation measures have been developed to be compatible with the operation of the existing railway. As set out on the Network North Command Paper the HS2 station at Euston will comprise 6 platforms which can accommodate the trains we will run to Birmingham and onwards.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 11/03/2024 16:57:10 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2024 answer text <p>Following the Network North announcement on 4 October 2023, we are upping the ambition of the Euston redevelopment, to create a transformed ‘Euston Quarter’. We are going to deliver a reduced 6-platform HS2 station, which can accommodate the HS2 trains we will run to Birmingham and onwards and which best supports regeneration of the local area. We will update Parliament on the progress on developing the proposal for the Euston Quarter, including providing updated schedule and costs estimates, through our regular six-monthly reports.</p><p> </p><p>While the new HS2 station and associated ‘Euston Quarter’ development does not form part of the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline (RNEP), the first phase of the Redevelopment of Euston Conventional Station (RECS) will remain part of the RNEP Portfolio. This first phase of RECS focuses on redeveloping and expanding the existing Network Rail station concourse to meet forecast future demand.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 24/01/2024 15:39:35 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the comments of the Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission in the Financial Times on 26 November, in which he casts doubt on the Government’s plan for connecting the HS2 rail line to Euston through private financing.
tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL1107
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2023 answer text <p>The Network North paper published by the Department for Transport on 4 October 2023 sets out that private finance will be leveraged to ensure contributions to the cost of Euston from those people and businesses it supports. The opportunity for regeneration and new homes in the Euston area is one of the largest in central London. This development-led approach will bring in private finance, along with a reduction of the transport scope to deliver only what is required at Euston. This will reduce the costs to the taxpayer. We are also taking on the lessons of success stories such as Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms, which secured £9 billion of private sector investment. The exact design of the model to be used, how it is taken to market, as well as how and where the alternative funding generated by this will be spent, is commercially sensitive and still subject to further work to ensure we are optimising funding and delivery. Ministers and officials have held positive initial conversations with potential funders. There will be a range of options within this that are still being considered and will require more time to develop before a final proposal is determined.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 20/12/2023 09:54:21 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
