Material by Rail Rob Carr – Programme Director
Progress made to enable Material by Rail at Euston HS2 Ltd has approved the implementation of Material by Rail (MbR) at Euston Station Stage A. • Reduces the volume of lorry movements by 34% across the Euston site. • Equivalent to 55,000 lorry movements 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. • NR are bidding for the freight paths as part of the forthcoming timetable planning conference. • We expect to have confirmation that these paths are available to us by June 2019. We have appointed Mace/Dragados as our Construction Partner for Euston who will: • Develop the site logistics to optimise the use of MbR; and • Work along with SCS to identify further opportunities to reduce the number of lorry movements.
Material by Rail at Euston Insufficient budget to fund MbR at both Euston Station and the Portal/Euston Cutting. • HS2 is funding Euston Station Stage A because it operates the longest and provides the • greatest opportunity to move the most excavated material and reduction in lorry movements Portal and Euston Cutting (Park Road Sidings) Euston Station Stage A (Platform 17/18) • Total excavated material= 620,000m 3 • Total excavated material = 625,000m 3 • Potential for 18% reduction in lorry movements or 8% across • Potential for 54% reduction the Euston area. in lorry movements or 34% across the Euston area. • Equivalent to a reduction of 11,000 lorry movements • Equivalent to a reduction of 55,000 lorry movements • Operational Oct 2021 – Sept 2022 (> 1 year) • Operational from Oct 2020 to December 2023 (3 years)
Next Steps 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: • Continue to identify ways of reducing the volume of lorry movements. • Optimise the use of rail for Euston Station Stage A. • Demonstrate that we are delivering in line with our U&A’s, EMRs. 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.

Request for additional footpath The requested path would cut through You asked us if we could create a footpath through our work site across the estate the demolition site, and the plant: Not possible pedestrian interface risk is too great. because The requested footpath is further north than our hoarding line. In that area there will be substation de ‐ commissioning works, demolition, utility works and London scaffolding The demolition method being considered would not be possible with a footpath in this location. We will put signage and wayfinding But.. advertising the businesses on the other side of the estate in the new community garden on Hampstead Road. Requested footpath
