Judge refuses to halt eviction of HS2 activists from Euston tunnel

Protesters told to immediately stop tunnelling under London station and give details of people down there

An emergency application to the high court by environmental protesters to halt HS2's eviction of them from a tunnel close to Euston station because of safety concerns has been rejected by a judge.

Mr Justice Knowles ordered that Larch Maxey, a protester who lodged the application on Monday night, should immediately stop tunnelling and give details about the layouts of the tunnels and how many people are down there.
