 This plan, properly named "A Heathrow Hub with Old Oak Common terminus", was initially supported by the Conservative Party, although in the final consultation plan, HS2 was proposed to terminate at Euston with a high-speed spur to Heathrow.In December 2010 the government announced that a high-speed connection with Heathrow Airport would be built as part of the second phase of the project and that until then connections would be made at Old Oak Common, where HS2 would have an interchange station with the Heathrow Express and Crossrail.However, in March 2015 the then transport minister Patrick McLoughlin stated to the House of Commons that the proposed Heathrow spur would no longer be considered as part of Phase One or Phase 2 of the HS2 scheme.
