 In order to mitigate the problems foreseen in Camden and to save £700 million from the budget, the HS1–HS2 link was removed from the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Bill at the second reading stage.An alternative solution to the issue of linking HS1 and HS2 was suggested by a former director of projects at British Rail, Dick Keegan, who recommended in January 2013 that HS2 should not terminate at Euston but at instead, offering direct links to HS1 and on to continental Europe and greater capacity.Rapid transit into central London would be provided from Stratford Regional station.
