HS2 will not be a separate, standalone railway. It will be an integrated part of a 21st Century transport network.

Through our interchange stations, classic compatible trains and exploitation of the released capacity we will deliver the integrated service that passengers need. Our work with local areas to implement Growth Strategies will ensure HS2 integrates with local transport networks.
