Archaeologists working on HS2 in south Northamptonshire have uncovered a 10-metre-wide Roman road running through a wealthy trading settlement

HS2 should be ‘net zero’ from 2035, according to a new report published by the company building it.

Transport Minister Baroness Vere has conceded that the Government does not yet know how its Integrated Rail Plan “will actually work on the ground”.

The start of tunnelling for HS2 in London is set to begin, following the delivery of two giant Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) to the HS2 site in West Ruislip.

West Midlands businesses are being actively encouraged to prepare for £25 billion worth of HS2 contracts that will soon start to flow into the supply chain.

A workforce of 4,200 people are now actively working on HS2 in the West Midlands

Bolton-based Booth Industries opened a purpose-built factory to manufacture more than 300 heavy steel safety doors for the insides of HS2 tunnels.

The first stage is the main station ‘box’ - the 900-yard-long reinforced concrete frame that will be part underground

Prefabricated tunnels will be built in thousands of sections at a factory in Ilkeston, before being used on HS2.

Local land taxes might provide a route to funding rail improvements in northern England, such as HS2’s eastern leg and a new line between Manchester and Leeds.
