HS2 Ltd has approved the implementation of Material by Rail (MbR) at Euston Station Stage A.
Network Rail has been instructed to start the amendments to the rail infrastructure which will be completed as part of the decommissioning of Platforms 17 and 18. We have had confirmation that there are 4 freight train paths available each way per day.
We have appointed Mace/Dragados as our Construction Partner for Euston who will:

55,000 lorry movements
to December 2023 (3 years) Portal and Euston Cutting (Park Road Sidings)
620,000m3
lorry movements or 8% across the Euston area.
11,000 lorry movements
2022 (> 1 year)
greatest opportunity to move the most excavated material and reduction in lorry movements
NR are progressing the design and implementation of the rail infrastructure to allow Material by Rail to operate from October 2020. We will be working with our contractors and stakeholders to:
We are investigating using high direct vision vehicles and high capacity (29 tonnes) to reduce the number of lorry movements and level of emissions. We will continue to update ECRG.

Some previously unresponsive residents have now been contacted with Camden’s assistance.
Solution developed for first 26 properties. Long term solution in development.
97% of the properties where interest has been shown have been surveyed.
A holistic system design is required for the Ampthill Estate high rise blocks which does not interfere with the buildings' cladding or fire safety systems. A specification has been prepared and we are in the process of procuring a feasibility study.
A Listed Building Consent Application for temporary mechanical ventilation (Sonair F+) was submitted at the end of January for a property on Mornington Terrace. The application was ‘registered’ by Camden on the 7th February 2019 and we are awaiting a decision.

Request for additional footpath
The requested path would cut through the demolition site, and the plant: pedestrian interface risk is too great. The demolition method being considered would not be possible with a footpath in this location.
We will put signage and wayfinding advertising the businesses on the other side of the estate in the new community garden on Hampstead Road.
You asked us if we could create a footpath through our work site across the estate
Requested footpath
The requested footpath is further north than our hoarding line. In that area there will be substation de‐commissioning works, demolition, utility works and scaffolding
Cyclists
Historical issue with cyclists & mopeds ignoring signs and using footpaths Signage and chicanes installed to encourage cyclists and mopeds to follow diversions We’re also using Customer Experience Representatives to improve compliance
