AT LAST some sense in the HS2 debacle as Transport Secretary Louise Haigh appeared today to signal the go-ahead for the multi-billion pound line’s link to Euston in central London. Previously, under nonsensical plans by Rishi Sunak, it was to terminate in a god-forsaken corner of west London at Old Oak Common.
This is good news not only for passengers at the capital’s worst London terminus, but for Euston area residents like me and my neighbours, who have found ourselves surrounded by a huge abandoned building site. Still, it does not compensate for the other bit of Sunak’s half-baked plan – abandoning the line to Manchester.
