Greenford Mail Centre closure/HS2

Now that we know that Greenford Mail Centre will be closing (due to HS2 getting the go ahead), what are the possible implications?
Would work and/or staff go to PRDC or would a super hub in the south be more likely to take the work and staff from both these places? Bearing in mind also that
PRDC doesn't have the new Parcel sorting machines...

From my intelligence sources and I have a few Greenford may be safe as apparently HS2 may be built underneath in a tunnel and Greenford MC may be safe. But Camden MPU may be affected as there is a lot of building work being done at Euston and the plan was that NW1 being moved into The Mount up the Euston Road.

Where would the access shaft to the tunnel be located?

Just had a look at where Greenford MC is, it looks like the sort of site that could be used as an access shaft, with the railway line next door for bringing supplies in
