HS2 Ltd has approved the implementation of Material by Rail (MbR) at Euston Station Stage A.• Reduces the volume of lorry movements by 34% across the Euston site. • Equivalent to 55,000 lorry movements
Network Rail has been instructed to start the amendments to the rail infrastructure which will be completed as part of the decommissioning of Platforms 17 and 18.
We have had confirmation that there are 4 freight train paths available each way per day.
• NR are bidding for the freight paths as part of the forthcoming timetable planning conference.
• We expect to have confirmation that these paths are available to us by June 2019.
We have appointed Mace/Dragados as our Construction Partner for Euston who will:• Develop the site logistics to optimise the use of MbR; and • Work along with SCS to identify further opportunities to reduce the number of lorry movements.
Progress made to enable Material by Rail at Euston
Euston Station Stage A (Platform 17/18)
• Total excavated material = 625,000m3
• Potential for 54% reduction in lorry movements or 34%across the Euston area.
• Equivalent to a reduction of 55,000 lorry movements
• Operational from Oct 2020 to December 2023 (3 years)
Portal and Euston Cutting (Park Road Sidings)
• Total excavated material= 620,000m3
• Potential for 18% reduction in lorry movements or 8% across the Euston area.
• Equivalent to a reduction of 11,000 lorry movements
• Operational Oct 2021 – Sept 2022 (> 1 year)
Material by Rail at Euston• Insufficient budget to fund MbR at both Euston Station and the Portal/Euston Cutting.
• HS2 is funding Euston Station Stage A because it operates the longest and provides the greatest opportunity to move the most excavated material and reduction in lorry movements
NR are progressing the design and implementation of the rail infrastructure to allow Material by Rail to operate from October 2020.
We will be working with our contractors and stakeholders to:
• Continue to identify ways of reducing the volume of lorry movements.
• Optimise the use of rail for Euston Station Stage A.
• Demonstrate that we are delivering in line with our U&A’s, EMRs.
We are investigating using high direct vision vehicles and high capacity (29 tonnes) to reduce the number of lorry movements and level of emissions.
We will continue to update ECRG.

Noise Insulation
A holistic system design is required for the Ampthill Estate high rise blocks which does not interfere with the buildings' cladding or fire safety systems.
A specification has been prepared and we are in the process of procuring a feasibility study.

Request for additional footpath
The requested path would cut through the demolition site, and the plant: pedestrian interface risk is too great.
The demolition method being considered would not be possible with a footpath in this location.

Euston Station –design development
Feedback from November 2018 public engagementThe HS2 station• General agreement with the
proposed station arrangement• Entrances themselves must be
big and feel like continuations of streets that they are opposite.
• Northern entrance is positive.• Station entrances are no
substitute to the north/south and east/west streets across the site.
Feedback from November 2018 public engagement -continued
Concourse• Need east/west pedestrian
links under or over the Network Rail station.
• Better alignment with Drummond Street welcomed.
• Like the increase in open space and the simplicity of the arrangement.
• Station should be as open as possible to visitors.
• Dislike walking through stations.
Feedback from November 2018 public engagement -continued
Transport interchange• Northern taxi rank is good;
convenient for travellers heading to north London.
• Distance to the taxi rank may be an issue for elderly and people with mobility problems.
• If located to the north, the taxi rank must have a right hand turn from Hampstead Road to reduce the amount of traffic.
• Taxi and bus connections should be located on Euston Road.
Feedback from November 2018 public engagement -continued
Open Space Opportunities• Support for moving taxis to
create potential for open space to west of the HS2 station.
• Retain Euston Square Gardens.• Needs a tranquil green space
for the local community that can also cater for range of uses (relaxing, enjoying nature and socialising/meeting).
• The top four features were; different types of trees, different types of planting, seating areas and quiet areas.
Open space north of Langdale Northern open

Western open space
Southern open space
Euston Square Gardens
Next stepsOngoing engagement – forward look• We are working with our designers to finalise the engagement plan for 2019, alongside the
engagement being planned by Lendlease. • Engagement will continue through the Ongoing Design Development Working Group on
specific topics.• Further public engagement on the overall scheme design is expected to take place this year,
prior to submission of Schedule 17.
Euston Station Construction Partner• The Construction Partner for Euston Station has been announced as a joint venture
between Mace Limited and Dragados S.A• The station Construction Partner will be responsible for working with HS2 Ltd and the
station designers, to coordinate the delivery of the station, including platforms, concourse and links to the London Underground and other rail services.
