HS2 High-Speed Rail Line

Under Construction

HS2 is a high-speed rail line project between London and Birmingham, originally designed to boost capacity on the railways between the north and south of England. The project has faced challenges including spiraling costs and the scrapping of its second phase, which included lines to Manchester and Leeds. Recently, HS2 Ltd reported one of its subcontractors to the tax authorities over possible fraud related to the supply and payment of construction workers.
