HS2

HS2 provides the platform to level-up and unite the country – bringing more investment and jobs across the UK.

HS2 is Britain’s new high speed rail line being built from London to the North-West, with HS2 trains linking the biggest cities in Scotland with Manchester, Birmingham and London.

HS2 is the largest infrastructure project in Europe and the most important economic and social regeneration project in decades.

HS2 will integrate with new lines and upgrades across Britain’s rail system to deliver faster travel to many towns and cities across Britain not directly on the HS2 route, including Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham, Derby.

170 miles of new high-speed line is already under construction between Crewe and London, employing around 25,000 people. In total, the Government is planning over 260 miles of new high speed line across the country. 

HS2 is being built to the highest standards, using world-class engineering to protect the countryside, protect local communities, and cut carbon.

The construction of the new railway is split into three phases:

  • Phase One linking London and the West Midlands;
  • Phase 2a linking the West Midlands and the North via Crewe; and
  • Phase 2b completing the railway to Manchester, the East Midlands and the North.

Building HS2 will support over 34,000 jobs

The investment in HS2 flows back into the British economy with thousands of businesses from all over the country getting contracts and able to expand and create more local jobs.
