Britain’s new high-speed railway
HS2 is one of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the UK. To manage the project, High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd was formed.
We are the project management organisation responsible for procuring and bringing together all the designers and contractors to build HS2.
We’ve purchased land and property to build, maintain and operate the railway and awarded multi-billion-pound contracts.
HS2 Ltd is a non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Transport. All funding for the project comes from the Secretary of State for Transport.
We must show that we’re compliant with technical, safety and environmental standards.
