HS2 Ltd

High Speed 2 (HS2) is a high-speed railway which has been under construction in England since 2019. The planned route runs between Handsacre, in southern Staffordshire, and London, with a branch to Birmingham. HS2 is to be Britain's second purpose-built high-speed railway after High Speed 1, which connects London to the Channel Tunnel. London and Birmingham are to be served directly by new high-speed track, with services continuing beyond the core route via the existing West Coast Main Line. The majority of the project was planned to be completed by 2033, but this was delayed following a programme reset in 2025, with no new completion date announced.
