Confirmation at October budget
Louise Haigh hinted that after years of back-tracking and indecision, the embattled £60bn rail line will run all the way to central London.
Previous doubts and changes
Doubts over whether HS2 would make it to Euston were raised last year, when then-PM Rishi Sunak decided to scrap the Birmingham to Manchester leg of the line.
Reactions and criticisms
Critics immediately slammed the plan to terminate the high-speed train in West London's Old Oak Common instead of central London, arguing it was pointless to have a new rail line that didn't end up in the heart of the city.
Affordability and future plans
When asked about the affordability of running HS2 to Euston, Ms Haigh responded that an announcement would be made soon, emphasizing that it never made sense to leave it between Old Oak Common and Birmingham.
