Recommendation 7

We asked the Department to give us an indication of what a reduced design for Euston station might look like. The Department told us that it would need to examine two options before it could come to the right solution: the minimum station option that would support passenger services and meet requirements; and the value maximisation option of, for example, investing more in an integrated station and more in over-site development. In the example of a minimum station option, the Department said that it might have to look at cutting back on over-site development, even though that would not be welcome in terms of economic regeneration, which is one of the project’s aims.13
