HS2 will run to central London, Jeremy Hunt says

Chancellor moves to quash reports that high-speed rail link might not terminate at Euston

The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, has moved to quash speculation that HS2 trains will not run to central London, saying he did not see any conceivable circumstances" in which the planned Euston terminus would not go ahead.

It had been reported that the high-speed rail network could instead terminate permanently in the western suburbs of the capital, stopping short of central London to save money.
