What is HS2?

HS2 will run into London’s Euston station as planned, the chancellor insisted on Friday following reports the final section of the route could be axed because of soaring costs.

Jeremy Hunt said he did not see “any conceivable circumstances” in which the high-speed rail project would not run into the terminus.

Rishi Sunak also insisted that the government is “committed to delivering all the plans that it announced with rail”.
