An Introduction to HS2 and
Regeneration
Jamie Kerr
Head of Regeneration Company Development
HS2 Ltd
Addressing the capacity crunch
• In 2011/12 passengers made around
1.5 billion journeys, almost doubled
since 1994/95
• 125 million long distance journeys were
made in 2011/12, more than doubled
since 1994/95
• By mid 2020s, key routes will be severely
crowded
• HS2 provides high frequency and high
capacity services
• Up to 18 trains per hour, each carrying up
to 1,100 passengers
• Capacity freed up on existing network
• More freight trains using the space freed
up on the existing rail network
The vision for HS2:
the catalyst for high speed Britain
• A 21st century high speed rail backbone,
integrated with existing network
• Direct, high capacity, rail links between
our major cities
• Foundation for future growth and
prosperity
• Investment in infrastructure that will
deliver a lasting dividend
Transforming the UK’s geography
•
•
•
•
Better connections to/from London
Poor inter-regional connectivity seen as growth constraint
HS2 is not just a new train line, it’s a new national network
New trains will continue into current network
Better commuter services
Milton Keynes
 Up to 12 trains an hour to London Euston
 Up to 1/3 reduction in average journey times
Northampton
 Up to six trains an hour to London Euston
 Reduction in average journey times
Berkhamsted
 Up to eight trains an hour to London Euston
 Up to 1/3 reduction in average journey times
 Better local services, including on the
Kensington Olympia route
Key facts: Phase One
• Connection between London and the West
Midlands allowing through trains to run onto
the West Coast Main Line to serve cities
further north and Scotland
• A new interchange station at Old Oak
Common in West London linking with
Crossrail, the Heathrow Express, the Great
Western Main Line and other public transport
• Stations in Central Birmingham and near
Birmingham Airport
• 140 miles (225km) route length
• Remodelling of Euston station
• Route crosses 24 local authorities – 50% in
tunnel or cutting
Key facts: Phase Two
• The high speed lines will be extended further
north, to Manchester on the western leg and
to Leeds on the eastern leg
• The western leg will serve Manchester
Airport and Manchester Piccadilly
• The eastern leg will serve stations in the East
Midlands, South Yorkshire and Leeds
• Link to the West Coast Main Line at Crewe
for services to Liverpool
• Link to the West Coast Main Line near Wigan
for services to Scotland
• Link to the East Coast Main Line for York and
Newcastle
• Phase Two adds another 211 miles (365km)
of new railway onto Phase One


Leeds 116 miles
Manchester 95 miles
High speed rail and regeneration
• HS1 has seen regeneration at Stratford
and Kings Cross worth £10bn, plus wider
economic benefits of £3.8bn
• Lille has developed a major commercial
centre around its new station
• Crossrail is already affecting investment
decisions, and could help create
additional residential and commercial
value of up to £5.5bn between 2012 and
2021
• HS2 are working in collaboration with the
Core Cities, London Boroughs and the
GLA and other stakeholders to maximise
the regeneration opportunities
