About HS2

HS2 will ensure better journeys for rail users in the West Midlands, London and the Southeast, with more services, faster journeys and fewer delays. It will provide more track, more trains, more seats and faster journeys to improve performance and reliability across the wider rail network, adding thousands of extra seats a day to the West Coast Main Line.

HS2 is at peak construction with the completion of the route’s longest tunnels, stations coming out the ground and hundreds of bridges and viaducts taking shape.

They will soon be awarding the railway and track contracts as they enter the next phase of delivery and step closer to opening in the early 2030s.

“At HS2 we recognise we are raising the bar on sustainability standards and expect our supply chain to step up. We also acknowledge that if we ask our supply chain to do something exceptional we must support them. Our Partnership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School is one of the ways we do this.”
