Keir Starmer – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Keir Starmer on 2015-10-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his policy is on the proposed Crossrail 2 project; and what assessment he has made of the relationship between that project and the successful completion of work on High Speed 2 at Euston Station.

Mr Robert Goodwill

A decision is yet to be taken on Government support for or investment in Crossrail 2.

The current safeguarding direction represents the proposed route and includes an area north of the Euston Road, necessary if Crossrail 2 was to serve Euston Station.

The completion of work on High Speed 2 at Euston Station is not dependent on the construction of Crossrail 2.
