HS2 project has been shrouded in uncertainty for the last year .

Rishi Sunak scrapped the line north of Birmingham and said it could only go ahead with private investment.

National Audit Office said a decision on tunnelling between Old Oak Common and Euston was “needed by the summer of 2024 to avoid much higher costs in the future.

The platforms were outdated and parts of the site had fallen into disrepair.

The arch was demolished and the station rebuilt in the 1960s , with the low-rise concrete building being opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1968 .

Plans to demolish the station were announced in 2007 — but abandoned in 2011 in favour of remodelling alongside the new HS2 terminus.
