What the project is for

Euston is one of the UK’s most critical rail transportation hubs. The current station is no longer fit for purpose and operating over capacity, with many station assets reaching the end of their service life. The proposed Redevelopment of Euston Conventional Station (RECS) scheme will update the existing station concourse area to accommodate current and future passenger demand on the West Coast Main Line, improve passenger experience and accessibility, while replacing life expired station assets in a cost-effective manner. The RECS project forms an integral part of the Departments wider plans for the Euston Station Campus. The Department is working with key partners to develop affordable, integrated plans for the Euston Station Campus, which will comprise the new High Speed 2 station, an upgraded Network Rail station and enhancements to the London Underground station and local transport facilities along with a significant level of development. The Government is seeking to deliver benefits far beyond a new, improved station, promoting growth both in the Euston area and nationally with thousands of new homes, jobs and opportunities for businesses to thrive.
