HS2 has unveiled an updated design for its new high-speed rail terminus in London, saying the 10-platform station will be “less complex and more efficient”.

Arup, WSP and Grimshaw Architects have drawn up the changes to the original 2015 design, scrapping plans for a curved, arched roof in favour of a geometric design.
Mace Dragados JV (MDJV) will build the station. Contractors will manufacture elements of the new roof offsite and install them using modular techniques.
