How HS2 nearly left Euston station with two Platform 1s
Briefly

Transport Minister Lord Hendy revealed that the Euston station redevelopment faced confusion due to a lack of unified planning, potentially leading to having two Platform 1s. This reminiscent confusion harked back to historical practices when separate rail companies built adjacent stations. However, a single, unified plan has now been established, eliminating duplicate platform numbering and confusing layouts, thus enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency.
Alan Over, of the DfT's Major Rail Projects Group, noted that this redevelopment is effectively four distinct projects: HS2, Network Rail, London Underground, and oversite redevelopment. Their approach has shifted, focusing on a collaborative strategy that combines these areas rather than treating them as isolated endeavors. This collective aim is expected to streamline operations and enhance overall project coherence.
