HS2 are expected to announce plans for tunnelling throughout the whole borough of Ealing this lunchtime.

The line should be tunnelled from Old Oak Common to Northolt.

Alex Nieora, Chairman of North Ealing Against HS2, said: "It’s a great triumph for grassroots activism and for residents acting in cooperation with Ealing council. Finally they have taken the message, we are very happy and await further details.

"It’s great news for people who live near the line- residents, businesses and schools."

After the announcement plans have to go through parliament and then to the joint committee stage.
