Cost of Euston HS2 terminus could race past £4.8bn estimate, MPs say

Overspend blamed on government indecision, despite eight years spent planning and designing project

The estimated 4.8bn cost of HS2's endangered Euston terminus could balloon further unless the government becomes clear what it is trying to achieve", the public accounts committee has warned.

In a highly critical report, MPs on the committee said the Department for Transport (DfT) was yet to establish the design and expectations for the station" against what it was willing to spend", despite spending more than eight years planning and designing the London terminus.
