‘Concerns’ about HS2 tunnel to Euston as TfL worries about effect on Elizabeth line
Transport for London (TfL) has said that it has concerns relating to the funding and timing of the HS2 tunnel between Old Oak Common and Euston . The authority also says current plans could mean the Elizabeth line is 'significantly affected' by a surge in passengers. The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, axed the project's northern leg last year, meaning Old Oak Common in West London - due to open at some point between 2029 and 2033 - will act as a 'temporary terminus' for HS2 in the capital. This may be the case for up to a decade. HS2 bosses have previously told MyLondon that they are confident it will be able to cope with this situation, as passengers interchange between high speed, GWR, Heathrow Express and Elizabeth line services . But, in documents for this week's TfL Programmes and Investment Committee, bosses have said there are uncertainties over money and dates.
