Subject to consultation, a stretch of new high-speed line will be built from the West Midlands to the East Midlands, based largely on the existing safeguarded route, connecting to the existing railway line near East Midlands Parkway Station (close to East Midlands Airport).
Under proposals set out in the Government’s Integrated Rail Plan for the North and Midlands, HS2 will serve Nottingham and Derby city centres directly rather than with a parkway stop between the two cities at Toton, which would have required passengers for Nottingham and Derby to change trains.
The Government will also accelerate transport improvements at Toton, such as a station for local/ regional services, with delivery subject to significant private sector investment – on a 50:50 match-funded basis with the taxpayer – coming forward at the site and developer contributions.
