HS2 works

HS2 works, which will start in earnest next year, will put pressure on all operators along the West Coast route. Our ability to run our existing timetable reliably will be a challenge, but one that we are confident we will be able to achieve. We are already working closely with HS2 Ltd. and Network Rail to ‘Keep the West Midlands moving’ and ensuring it is open for business. Integral to this will be timely and accurate information to allow customers to plan ahead and make more informed decisions.
