A Tory backbencher has led calls for the immediate removal of the 'dangerous' anti-HS2 campsite in Euston, including wooden shacks which cover a 100ft tunnel network - after bailiffs first started evicting eco-warriors protesting the controversial £98billion rail project 13 days ago.
Six HS2 Rebellion activists including veteran environmental campaigner Swampy, real name Daniel Hooper, and his son Rory are occupying the tunnels dug in secret near Euston Station in Central London.
MailOnline understands that the wooden shacks cover an entrance to the tunnel network and that they will be torn down by contractors at an 'appropriate point' in HS2's 'safety-led approach'. The National Eviction Team, which is leading the operation, declined to comment.
