HS2 Ltd assessed the case for a connection between HS2 and HS1 prior to the consultation on Phase One of HS2 in 2012. They concluded that the proposed single track link provides sufficient capacity to meet likely demand both on domestic and international services for the foreseeable future. HS2 Ltd has assessed terminating southbound services at destinations other than Euston. This would mean not stopping at a central London destination, which would reduce the overall benefits from HS2.
