HS2, the new North-South rail link will revitalise Britain’s rail network to provide the capacity and connectivity we need to drive national and regional competitiveness. It will be the first significant upgrade of the railway network since its original development in the 19th century – the first major route to be built north of London for the last hundred years – and already the biggest and most comprehensive consultation process ever undertaken in the UK.

The HS2 programme aims to set the standard for the delivery of transport systems and infrastructure by:

• engaging with all our stakeholders fairly
• delivering value through the effective management of the design and build programme
• building and operating a safe, sustainable and reliable system to provide exceptional levels of service to passengers.

As the company responsible for developing, delivering and promoting this historic project, HS2 Ltd is committed to delivering this remarkable legacy for the UK.
