HS2 Phase Two: from the West Midlands to Leeds and Manchester
Following confirmation of the HS2 Phase Two route from the West Midlands to Leeds and Manchester, a full safeguarding consultation for Phase Two of HS2 will be undertaken. Once this consultation is completed, safeguarding directions and maps will be published.
Following the recommendations made in HS2 Ltd’s chairman’s report ‘Rebalancing Britain: From HS2 towards a national transport strategy’ a consultation was launched on proposals to safeguard a section of the HS2 Phase Two route between Fradley and Crewe.
