Rigorous comparative costing of HS2, Northern Powerhouse Rail and HSUK show HSUK’s construction costs to be around £20bn less than those of HS2 and NPR combined. This huge difference can be attributed to HSUK’s vastly superior network design, and to its more appropriate and responsible choice of route.

Cost comparisons with HS2 are only possible with the detailed route design of over 1,000km of new, upgraded and restored railway. For more info please follow these links:
