It is also not yet clear if HS2 will actually have a terminus in Euston, although rumours are that it will be confirmed soon.
The site has been mothballed for two years and the high speed line could still end at Old Oak Common. Plans at Euston are still changing.
The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer recently told London the plans remained “under review”.
“I know first hand the development that’s going on at Euston but like so many other things we have inherited a real mess. A project that massively went over budget, was undeliverable and we have had to pick up the pieces of that. And I will give you an answer on the final decisions just as soon as I can,” he said.
Craig believes the whole scheme has been a waste of time.
He says: “What was the point of doing all this? Initially they wanted it for platforms for HS2. Now it’s an additional station development zone.
“It will never be a platform, or the station it was meant to be, which is, they told me, why they had to take my pub away from me. Not just my pub, my house, my home. It’s where all my kids grew up here.”
