HS2 - Helping reduce overcrowding on Britain's rail network

HS2’s brand new track and fast intercity services will carry more than 2 million people a week.

By freeing up space on existing lines, for new local train services, passengers and freight, HS2 helps ease congestion and over-crowding. Travelling by train becomes a more convenient and enjoyable option for everybody, regardless of how far they’re going.

Our latest video explains how the delivery of Britain's new high speed railway will be a game changer for the UK rail network and will help to improve your journey, even if you don't use our trains.

Once the full network is complete we expect HS2 trains to carry over 300,000 passengers a day. We have planned for the future by making sure that the HS2 network can grow with increased demand.

Up to 48 HS2 trains will be running on the rail network every hour, each carrying up to 1,100 passengers.

Visit the HS2 website to find out about the stations we will serve.

If you have any questions about HS2 or our works, please contact our HS2 Helpdesk team on 08081 434 434 or email hs2enquiries@hs2.org.uk .
