- #4 HS2: THE NEW BACKBONE OF BRITAIN’S RAIL NETWORK HS2 will be the new high speed backbone of our rail network connecting the city centres of London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Once fully completed, we will have built around 553 kilometres of new high speed track (equivalent to over half the length of Britain Lands End to John O’Groats as the crow flies). The new line will include stops at Old Oak Common in West London, Birmingham and Manchester Airports and at Toton in the East Midlands between Derby and Nottingham. HS2 will also be integrated into the East and West Coast Main Lines, so HS2 trains will cross over to the existing network and serve towns and cities in the North of England and Scotland. This will open up access to the high speed network to around half the population of Britain and cut journey times between the North and the South. Phase One between London and Birmingham will be completed in 2026. The line will extend to Crewe by 2027 – known as Phase 2a. The rest of Phase Two (Phase 2b) creates a Y-shaped network to Manchester in the West and Leeds in the East and will be completed by 2033. When fully operational, up to 48 HS2 trains with up to 1,100 seats each will be running every hour on the UK’s rail network. This is a huge undertaking; Britain’s first new intercity railway north of London in 100 years; Europe’s largest infrastructure project. LINK: So why is this new railway necessary?
- #5 THE CASE FOR HS2 The country needs good rail links. The UK needs a modern, strong and growing economy which creates jobs and helps the country to compete on the international stage. Rail transport helps build economic growth. Good rail links make it easier to import and export goods and for people to get to work, get jobs further away from home and do business. Good rail links also create opportunities for people to stay in touch with family and friends, visit new places and broaden their horizons. Problems with the current rail network. We have all experienced the problems with our current rail network, much of which was built over 100 years ago. It carries intercity, local and freight services all on the same lines. Despite constant upgrades, in many places, the network is over-crowded and congested, making rail travel slow and frustrating for many – particularly at peak times. Rail connections between towns and cities, particularly in the North and Midlands, can be slow and unreliable. And this is holding back regional and city economies. Rail passenger numbers are continuing to grow and the current rail network will be unable to cope with future demand. How HS2 will help. HS2 is part of the strategic answer to these problems. Capacity: As a brand new line, HS2 will provide a step change in capacity. It will create more seats for passengers, and more space on the rail network as a whole, allowing train operators to run new and more frequent regional, local and commuter services. [SEE SLIDE 6 FOR MORE INFO] Connectivity: By providing faster and easier travel between Britain’s major cities and economic hubs HS2 will help bridge the North-South divide and drive economic growth. It will open up local and regional markets, attract investment and improve job opportunities for hundreds of thousands of people across the whole country. [SEE SLIDES 7,8,9 FOR MORE INFO] HS2 is more than a transport project, it’s an economic and social project too. Our overarching vision is to be a catalyst for growth across Britain. That is why HS2 is at the heart of the Government’s Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Engine agendas, and will contribute to the new Modern Industrial Strategy. LINK: Let’s just look at Capacity and Connectivity in a bit more detail.
- #6 CAPACITY - MORE SEATS FOR PASSENGERS Britain’s rail network needs more capacity Demand for rail travel has more than doubled over the past twenty years. Commuter and inter-city lines serving London, Birmingham and Manchester are under particular pressure. The Government is investing £40bn in the existing network, but this cannot provide all the additional capacity required for the future. HS2 is the best option to deliver more capacity where its needed most As a brand new line, HS2 is the best option for taking the pressure off the existing network and adding extra capacity where it is needed most. By 2033, up to HS2 18 trains will leave London every hour, and up to 18 trains will arrive, each carrying up to 1,100 passengers on each train. Up to 6 further HS2 trains will run north every hour to from Birmingham Curzon Street, and 6 trains will arrive from the North. In total, up to 48 HS2 trains will running on UK rail network every hour. When the full network is up and running, we expect HS2 trains to carry over 300,000 passengers a day – that’s over 100m passengers a year. We have planned for the future by making sure that the HS2 network can grow with increased demand. Together this will deliver a step change in capacity for the whole of our rail network. The benefits of HS2 won’t be limited to those who use the new intercity network itself. HS2 will create more seats for passengers on the rail network as a whole. By shifting services onto the brand new railway, HS2 will release space on existing routes and provide options for new or additional local, cross-country, commuter and freight services in many areas. For instance, by 2033, the addition of HS2 will more than double the total number of seats available out of Euston in the evening rush hour. It could also double the number of peak time seats available on busy services from Manchester Piccadilly towards Crewe and Stoke, and from Leeds towards Wakefield and Doncaster. It has the potential to almost double peak seats from London to Peterborough and east coast destinations further North. No decisions on the use of released capacity have yet been taken and options for inclusion in the final HS2 timetable will be developed, but a study by Network Rail has shown that with HS2, over 100 towns and cities could benefit from new commuter and intercity services on existing lines.

- #7 CONNECTIVITY – TRANSFORMING TRAVEL HS2 will transform travel in the UK, making it easier to move around for work or leisure and bringing businesses, families and friends closer together. Britain’s city regions are the engine room of the national economy. With 85% of the population living in ‘urban economies’ they create jobs at twice the rate of the rest of the country. We need better intercity links to serve the national and regional economies. At the moment, the economic potential of the Midlands and the North is being constrained by poor links between key cities and economic centres. The economic performance of regions such as Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire lag behind comparable European regions that are better connected. Speed is not the objective. It is saving time that matters. HS2 trains will be fast, with a maximum operating speed of over 220 mile per hour, but if you cut journey times between places it encourages people and businesses to seek new opportunities. It will help make Britain more productive, helping businesses reach new clients and hire new people. It will provide people with more opportunities within reach to live, work, study or holiday in different places. Journey time examples It currently takes over two hours to travel between London and Manchester by train. HS2 will cut the journey in half to just over an hour. Journey times between the Midlands and the North are particularly slow at the moment. It takes almost two and a half hours to get to Birmingham Airport from Leeds. With HS2 that will be cut to just 46 minutes, saving people an hour and a three quarters.

- #8 CONNECTIVITY – AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM HS2 is not just about London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds - our biggest cities. HS2 trains will be capable of crossing over to the existing rail network and will travel north all the way to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Taken together HS2 will stop at over 25 stations and open up access to the high speed network to around 30 million people (half the population of Britain). North East (home to over 2.5 million people and contributes £45bn a year to UK economy) Hs2 trains will stop at Leeds, Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, York and Sheffield in the North East. This will link the industries of Tyneside, the Tees Valley and Yorkshire to Birmingham and London, making the city regions of the North East more attractive places to live and work. North West (home to over 7 million people and 3.5 million jobs) In the North West, HS2 train stops include Liverpool and Warrington as well as Wigan, Preston and Carlisle on the way to Scotland. HS2 will open up the aerospace industries of Lancashire, the nuclear industries of Cumbria and the tourist industry of the Lakes to swift, frequent and reliable journeys to and from the Midlands and South. Regions like North Wales which will link to HS2 through the Crewe Hub. All these places are putting plans in place to capitalise on HS2 services – to regenerate areas around their stations, create jobs and encourage new businesses.

- #9 ECONOMIC GROWTH HS2’s intercity links will serve the national and regional economies with much faster journeys between key economic hubs, linking key sectors of the economy. HS2 will shave almost an hour off the journey from Newcastle to Birmingham opening up the North East to new trading opportunities. Manchester to Birmingham will be just 40 mins, over twice as fast as the present journey time. Here are some of the economic benefits to the economy: Trade and export opportunities for local and regional markets In the North East, HS2 will link the industries of Tyneside, the Tees Valley and Yorkshire to Birmingham and London. In the North West, HS2 will open up the aerospace industries of Lancashire, the nuclear industries of Cumbria and the tourist industry of the Lakes to swift, frequent and reliable journeys to and from the Midlands and South. Improved employment opportunities for people Over 3 million people regularly commute to work for over an hour or more each day. HS2 will bring Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, London, York, Preston and Wigan within an hour’s commute of Birmingham and the West Midlands. So you could live in one and work in the other. Greater ability for businesses to reach new clients, customers and access skills. If you can get places more swiftly it means you can grow your businesses trading in new towns and cities and attracting people to come and work for you. Making it easier for regions to attract investment and new businesses With HS2, it makes it easier for firms to base themselves outside London to capitalise of lower business costs. This is already beginning to happen with Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester attracting new headquarters and new investment.

- #10 JOBS – REGENERATION AND GROWTH HS2 is acting as a catalyst for change at a regional and local level. Local authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) along the HS2 route are building HS2 into their plans to grow their local economies and regenerate their towns and cities. HS2 Growth Strategies are in place for Phase One and in development along the Phase Two route in the East Midlands, Leeds, Manchester and the Crewe area. Places like York, Newcastle, Darlington, Carlisle Wigan and Preston that will be served by HS2 services that continue on up the East and West Coast Main Lines are also acting early to embrace the economic opportunities offered by HS2. Taken together, HS2 has the potential to support hundreds of thousands of new jobs as part of regeneration and growth plans. For example: CHOOSE EXAMPLES THAT FITS YOUR AUDIENCE The redevelopment of Euston as the HS2 London terminus has the potential to support up to 14,100 new jobs and 3,800 new homes with access to public spaces. The Old Oak Common and Park Royal Development Corporation in West London has ambitious plans to deliver 25,500 new homes, together with up to 65,000 new jobs. Birmingham is already reaping the benefits of HS2, with businesses including Deutsche Bank, Jacobs Engineering and the retail banking arm of HSBC choosing to make the city home. The West Midlands Combined Authority’s HS2 Growth Strategy has the potential to add £14bn to the economy and create and support 100,000 jobs. At Birmingham’s HS2 Curzon Street station, Enterprise Zone business rates income will help regenerate the area with plans for the creation of 36,000 jobs in the creative, digital, and professional services sectors and 4,000 new city centre homes. At Interchange station in Solihull a new business district is envisaged to deliver 16,000 jobs and 1,900 homes. This will form the core of the wider UK Central proposals for growth at key locations in the M42 corridor. The East Midlands HS2 Strategic Board have published their emerging HS2 Growth Strategy which estimates that with strong local action the opportunities for trade, investment and jobs that HS2 brings are equivalent to 74,000 new jobs and an extra £4bn to the local economy. In Leeds, £500 million of investment has been attracted since the announcement of Phase Two of HS2, including Sky’s technology hub, which opened in 2016. Over the next 30 years, Leeds South Bank redevelopment next to the HS2 station is expected to provide 35,000 jobs across the financial, professional, creative and digital sectors and 4,000 homes. In Manchester, redevelopment plans at Manchester Piccadilly include a mixed use neighbourhood with offices, homes and public spaces. Manchester estimates HS2 will support 40,000 new jobs and commercial development. The Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership believes that productivity gains from the impact of HS2 services to the area could help provide an extra £600m for the region, and 3,000 additional jobs in Preston and South Ribble alone . Darlington Borough Council estimate that its HS2 Growth Hub plan could, in the long term, provide over 3,000 new jobs and a £130m a year boost to the Tees Valley City Region.

- #11 CONCLUSION – TIMELINE Today we’re moving from planning to construction. In February 2017 we achieved Royal Assent from Parliament for Phase One – this gave us the approval and powers to begin construction. So we are now moving ahead with building Phase One. Hs2 has moved from concept to construction in just 8 years. In the British context of planning law and public consultation this is a quite remarkable achievement. The line itself will traverse 72 parliamentary constituencies which gives you a sense of the scale of negotiation, agreement and support we have needed to achieve with national, regional and local authorities up and down the country – as well of course the local communities and people who will be directly affected. In four years time by 2023: We are likely to have approvals to build Phase 2. In 2026 Phase One will open and HS2 trains will begin running on the high speed line between London and Birmingham. Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, Glasgow and several other destinations along the West Coast Mainline will receive HS2 services via classic-compatible trains In 2027 Phase 2a to Crewe will open – reducing journey times even further and taking advantage of the hub’s existing connections to North Wales and across North West England. In 2033 Phase Two starts to operate. This is when the full HS2 line from London to Birmingham and the Y-shaped route to Manchester and Leeds will be up and running.
