Home White Papers Track Engineering, Construction and Maintenance High Speed 2 Strategic Alternatives Study Baseline Report
This white paper was produced by UK-based engineering and design consultancy firm Atkins on behalf of the Department for Transport (DfT) for the High Speed 2 strategic alternatives study.
At the start of 2009, HS2 was established to investigate the case for a new high-speed railway between London and the West Midlands, and potentially beyond.
In the paper, Atkins considers potential road and rail improvement options as potential strategic alternatives to a high-speed rail proposition.
The report looks at a range of road and rail interventions between London and the West Midlands, which could effectively increase capacity in line with forecast demand.
