CLondoner92 (New Account)The #Transport Secretary has instructed #HS2 Ltd to explore ways to cut costs and speed up delivery, as part of a wider reset of the project following years of mismanagement. Options under review include reducing maximum train speeds from the planned 360km/h to 300–320km/h, aligning with established international systems and avoiding costly testing delays. The changes are expected to have minimal impact on journey times while enabling earlier passenger services and saving taxpayers billions. HS2 CEO Mark Wild will report back in the summer with updated plans. The project currently supports around 30,000 jobs and is forecast to add £20 billion to the economy, alongside major progress on tunnels, stations and infrastructure completed ahead of schedule.
