• Purpose and Strategy • International experience • Stations • Route • Next steps
P2 (2)2 HOL/10001/0003 Purpose of HS2
‘The new north-south railway is a long term solution to a long term problem’ Secretary of State for Transport, Foreword, Strategic Case for HS2, November 2013
‘The aim of the HS2 project is to deliver hugely enhanced capacity and connectivity between our major conurbations’
‘… capacity will be freed up on the existing network, especially on the congested lines to the north of London, creating sufficient capacity for extra commuter and freight services’ High Speed Rail Investing in Britain’s Future – Decisions and Next Steps, January 2012,p.11
P2 (3)3 HOL/10001/0004 Strategic and transport case November 2015 update
P2 (4)4 HOL/10001/0005 Long distance passenger demand
WCML average annual growth 1996/7 – 2014/15 • Virgin West Coast (long distance) 5.5% • London Midland (commuter) 4.0%
P2 (5)5 HOL/10001/0006 UK transport capacity filling up fast
“…even at even only half the recent rate of growth capacity will be a severe problem by the mid 2020s. Crowding levels will be untenable. A step change is needed.” Strategic case for HS2. October 2013, para.2.10.2
• Demand for freight train paths forecast to double by 2033
• Reliability and resilience affected by heavy utilisation of train paths
• Traffic on strategic roads also predicted to grow – by 29-60% 2010- 2040 (depending on growth assumptions)
Road Traffic Forecasts 2015, DfT, Table 3.3
P2 (6)6 HOL/10001/0007 HS1 Two Track Railway
P2 (7)7 HOL/10001/0008 Bringing cities closer together
Selected journey times from London (HS2 Phase 2) P2 (8) HOL/10001/0009 8 Connectivity from Birmingham
P2 (9)9 HOL/10001/0010 HS2 will attract passengers from the West Coast, Midland and East Coast Main Lines
• In 2026 half the passengers who would otherwise travel on WCML inter city trains will transfer to HS2 Phase One services.
• By 2036, HS2 Phase Two would attract: • Two thirds passengers who would otherwise travel on WCML inter city trains • One third of passengers who would otherwise travel on MML inter city trains • Half the passengers who would otherwise travel on ECML inter city trains • On the trunk section of the HS2 network south of the West Midlands) circa 250,000 passengers will use HS2 each day
• Releasing capacity for more commuter and freight services
P2 (10)10 HOL/10001/0011 What HS2 releases from WCML
• The HS2 Phase 1 services replace most long distance non-stop services to or from areas served by HS2
• At least 10 new services can operate into Euston
• Each new commuter train is c700 seats
• Each new long distance train is c500-600 seats

P2 (12)12 HOL/10001/0013 Cumbria/Scotland Cumbria/Scotland Indicative London services – 2026
P2 (13)13 HOL/10001/0014 International experience and design principles
The first high speed rail (HSR) line was opened in 1964 The Tokaido Shinkansen . (lit. “new transport system”) . Tokyo to Shin-Osaka (515km – 320 miles)
It established some key HSR characteristics . New line not constrained by historic limitations . Dedicated to inter-city passenger traffic – not mixed traffic railway . Very high capacity . Very high reliability . Bringing cities “closer together” through much reduced journey times
. Note: HSR is now defined as lines operating at 250km/h (155mph) or higher P2 (14)14 HOL/10001/0015 HSR has developed over half a century
Proven systems and technologies
Continuing improvements
HS2 will use latest technologies to internationally accepted standards
P2 (15)15 HOL/10001/0016 HSR is being adopted across much of the world

P2 (16)16 HOL/10001/0017 Shorter distance services have been most successful
Example of Paris – Brussels Thalys service . similar distance as London – Leeds or Manchester . Journey time reduced from 2 ½ hours to 1 ½ hours . Rail share of market doubled . Car share reduced by 1/3 . Air marginalised
P2 (17)17 HOL/10001/0018 Station and route selection
P2 (18)18 HOL/10001/0019 Station and route selection
Selection criteria included:
• Strategic fit • Demand • Operational feasibility • Environment • Cost • Regeneration • Other relevant factors
As options were narrowed down, the level of design and appraisal detail increased
P2 (19)19 HOL/10001/0020 Evolution of the proposals
December 2009 HS2 Ltd reported initial proposals to Government
March 2010 Government announced initial preferred route subject to further work
February-July 2011 National public consultation
January 2012 Government announced post consultation route
May-July 2013 National public consultation on Draft Environmental Statement and Route refinements
November 2013 High Speed Rail Phase One Bill deposited

• 90% of HS2 London passengers will be travelling to, from or via central London
• 27 options for the London terminus • 11 options for an interchange
• Terminus options included Euston and Old Oak Common without a second London station
• Best solution for both passengers and strategic objectives is the terminus at Euston and an interchange at Old Oak Common
P2 (32)32 HOL/10001/0033 London interchange station options
Old Oak Common Iver
Heathrow Heathrow T5 T1,2,3
2009-11 - Options for serving Heathrow and interchange with Crossrail/GWML including on airport locations and Iver
P2 (33)33 HOL/10001/0034 Old Oak Common Station
Old Oak Common selected because it provides:
• Convenient access via Crossrail towards central London and Docklands
• Direct links to west London Heathrow terminals and Thames Valley
• Catalyst for regeneration
P2 (34)34 HOL/10001/0035 Old Oak Common interchange
25-35% of HS2 passengers will use Old Oak Common rather than Euston mainly for destinations in east and west London

Destinations of HS2 passengers interchanging at Euston
P2 (40)40 HOL/10001/0041 Euston Station interchange capacity
Passenger demand into Euston in the a.m. peak period is predicted to grow:
2012 25,000 2026 42,000 2041 61,000
Due to underlying travel growth, increases in London’s population and employment, attraction of passengers from MML (St.Pancras) and ECML (Kings Cross).
