The Economic Case for HS2 published in October 2013 (which can be found at: http://assets.hs2.org.uk/sites/default/files/inserts/S%26A%201_Economic%20case_0.pdf), estimates that in 2036 and thereafter, 3.6% of the revenue generated by Phase 1 of HS2 originates from commuters travelling between the West Midlands and London.
