The HS2 railway line is likely to be extended to London Euston, the Transport Secretary has signalled.
Louise Haigh said “it would make absolutely no sense” to have the high-speed route terminate at Old Oak Common in west London.
Her comments come after work to expand Euston station to accommodate HS2 was halted by the previous Conservative government last year because of the mounting costs.
Haigh told BBC Radio 5Live a decision on where HS2 will end would be “clear soon”, with an announcement set to be made around the time of the Budget on 30 October.
