Book excerpt: In January 2012 the Government announced the proposed route for HS2 Phase One between London and the West Midlands in High Speed Rail: investing in Britain's future (Cm. 8247, ISBN 9780101824729). In May 2013 the Design Refinement Consultation sought views on fourteen changes to that proposed route. In October 2013 Cm. 8709, (ISBN 9780101870924) set out the decisions on the design refinements proposed at Northolt and Bromford. This document relates to the remaining twelve design refinements proposed. The Secretary of State has decided to confirm the revised design at Euston station. The revised design meets the operational requirements for the station; delivers the majority of the benefits related to in the January 2012 design with reduced disruption and without affecting HS2's proposed opening date of 2026; and it does so at a lower cost. HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport will continue to work closely with Network Rail and Transport for London to address detailed issues on the design of Euston station and its continued effective operation during construction
