Previous government intended to cancel the leg to Euston despite all the work already being done to save money, but hadn't confirmed.

It made little sense because they'd already spent a lot of money to build a good amount of it and would've made all of it a waste.

Not to mention, having a high speed line terminate further than the main line it's meant to take pressure from would've defeated made the line effectively useless.
