Work on Euston station and asbestos removal add to bill for London to Birmingham phase
HS2’s costs have risen by another £800m, the government has admitted, barely a month after the official start of construction of the high-speed rail network.
The reshaping of Euston station is likely to cost at least £400m more than planned, while the discovery of more asbestos than expected in demolitions along the line of the route has added around another £400m.
