HS2 publishes new images showing progress at London Euston where the team this week completed the demolition of the former BHS warehouse on Hampstead Road, close to the new station’s proposed Camden Town entrance.

HS2 has completed two major demolition projects at Euston as work continues to deliver extra capacity and improve journeys for the 44 million passengers who use the station every year.

• Six month project to clear 42,000m² site completed - with 98% of material reused or recycled
• The Victoria Road Crossover Box, near to Old Oak Common in west London, will allow HS2 trains to switch tracks underground
• Recent feasibility study says crossover box could be used to provide heat and energy to nearby housing developments

Heat recycled from high speed trains could power hundreds of new homes, according to HS2 Ltd - the company building Britain’s new high speed rail network.
