HS2 trains will be able to run all the way to Euston after the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, committed to funding tunnelling work to the central London station.

She said the government would “get a grip” on HS2 between London and Birmingham, and guarantee funds to start work on the 4.5-mile twin-bore tunnel from Old Oak Common station in west London into Euston.
