The UK's coalition government will ensure the construction of a high-speed rail network in the country as part of a programme of measures for a low-carbon economy.
In a speech delivered to parliament, Queen Elizabeth II said the high-speed rail network bill will be introduced.
The UK Government is also planning to study how to connect the network with the existing High Speed 1 (HS1) Eurostar link between London and the Channel Tunnel.
The proposed rail plan is expected to include links between UK airports, according to the BBC.
