Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the target dates for opening each stage of HS2 to passenger travel.
Phase 1 (London to West Midlands) of HS2 is scheduled to open to passengers in 2026, Phase 2a (West Midlands to Crewe) in 2027, and the rest of Phase 2 (Crewe to Manchester and West Midlands to Yorkshire) in 2033. The project remains on time and on budget.
