The project is being developed by High Speed Two Ltd, a company limited by guarantee established by the UK government. The line is to be built in two phases, the first being the section between London and Birmingham. The route would take the form of a "Y", with a trunk between London Euston and Birmingham. The route would then split into two spurs, one continuing to Manchester Piccadilly running under Crewe railway station and Manchester Airport and the other to Leeds via the East Midlands and Sheffield Meadowhall. Four major city centres will be served directly by HS2: London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. Other cities are to be accessed using HS2 trains running on existing tracks, or with edge-of-town stations.

  • The project is being developed by High Speed Two Ltd, a company limited by guarantee established by the UK government. The line is to be built in two phases, the first being the section between London and Birmingham. The route would take the form of a "Y", with a trunk between London Euston and Birmingham. The route would then split into two spurs, one continuing to Manchester Piccadilly running under Crewe railway station and Manchester Airport and the other to Leeds via the East Midlands and Sheffield Meadowhall. Four major city centres will be served directly by HS2: London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. Other cities are to be accessed using HS2 trains running on existing tracks, or with edge-of-town stations. High-speed rail is supported in principle by the three main UK political parties. The Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition government formed in May 2010 stated in its initial programme for government its commitment to creating a high-speed rail network. In January 2012, the construction of phase 1 between London and Birmingham was approved. Construction is set to begin in 2017 with an indicated opening date of 2026. In January 2013, the preliminary phase 2 route was announced with a planned completion date of 2032.
