Long article in today's Telegraph. Seems there are problems in getting the running lines to Euston station, therefore HS2 might have to terminate at Old Oak Common, four miles short of Euston. Obviously this puts a big question mark over the plan, shattering the route's city centre to city centre appeal, adding time to journeys and further harming already the schemes poor business case. Boris Johnson has stated he will withdraw his support for HS2 if it stops at Old Oak calling it the " Ryanair solution, stopping in the middle of nowhere" HS2 management are still confident they can surmount the obstacles.
