HS2 Ltd 
Welcome to Old Oak Common! This future HS2 super-hub station in West London is set to be one of the UK’s largest and most sustainable rail stations. Join Peter Gow as he takes you behind the scenes, sharing the latest progress, milestones, and innovations driving HS2’s new London–Birmingham line.
When complete in the early 2030s, Old Oak Common will seamlessly connect high-speed trains with conventional rail services, offering swift links to central London, Birmingham, Heathrow, and beyond. As the temporary London terminus for HS2, this super-hub will transform UK travel while revitalising the area, opening up new opportunities and growth for local communities.

Do we know when the tunnelling to Euston will commence?
Exciting!!
Going to be incredible when finished, incredible British engineering 👌👍
Are you sure there are enough ladies loos?? Is it too late to double the quantity??? This is really important.
Bloody love to see it
The train to nowhere worth visiting
Wow at last the Labour Government has given the go ahead to let HS2 run to London Euston, The station is the most congested station in the UK with 40 million passengers passing through this station every year and needs remodelnesing, Finger cross the new terminal will open way before 2041 and tough to the nimbys brigade if you don't like the truth.
Awesome Guys .. Crack on..
One of those TBM's doing the Euston Tunnel must surely be named RACHEL!

Good on Labour for giving the green light to the Euston section 👍
What's Euston going to look like.
Can we get Peter on all the videos? Speaks clearly with the added bonus of having English as his first language
I am genuinely impressed by both the project, progress to date, and, the narration to the video. Clear, concise and informative. More please! We must have a solution for the North and Scotland, this shows that the Brits can still do magnificent civil engineering. 👍
I'm with the plants in thinking that CO2 is important
Old Oak Common is NOT a 'superhub' it is the TERMINUS – HS2 is not going to Euston.
👍👏 But I genuinely hope that there will be vastly more seating in the passenger concorses than is depicted in this video, which appears to be so woefully inadequate.
Don't give a fuck about net zero, but thanks for infrastructure update.
Very pleased the Labour government has invested in this project because Euston is heavily congested
Brilliant update👍
1 million tonnes of construction concrete is never zero carbon 🤷♂️
The London Overground passes nearby yet is not integrated into the site, which seems to be a lack of useful planning
has the tunnel bore started,and 2030-33 to finish the whole job,the work never really changes for me ,looks as nothing is moving forward
amazing stuff
As a local resident (Harlesden), this is very exciting and definitely a game changer for NW London in general. Would like to see improved cycling infrastructure around the area too, where there is barely any, as part of an integrated transportation strategy for the station use.

I'd like to congratulate HS2 on finally making a video in which the letter AITCH is pronounced correctly. I doubt it'll last.
Wonderful! Now send it all the way to Scotland please.
Are all HS2 and GWR trains stopping there ? Shame no link to North London (Mildmay) line. Would gave been useful link to Richmond and North London
I feel proud working on behalf of HS2 on this project last few years. Watching through video it is incredible piece of engineering. I would like to congratulate all participants who put their intense hardwork day and night to bring this dream project into reality.
Thank you for this useful and informative update. This will be an essential asset once the penny drops and the line extends further north beyond Handsacre Junction. From the understandability PoV, the English narration helps to get the message across. Well done, one and all. Now, onwards to Euston.
Why’s it not going up to Manchester?
Any other country could have built and had the entire line open by now
