answer text <p>In his report published on 17 March 2014, Sir David Higgins said that there could be a better solution for Euston than that proposed in the HS2 hybrid Bill. As a result, HS2 Ltd has been asked to work with Network Rail to explore a more comprehensive solution for Euston, working with the rail industry and the local community, with the aim of reaching a decision that would allow introduction of an additional provision to the hybrid Bill by December 2014. This work includes establishing a cost estimate for the scheme.</p> more like this
