HS2 in Warwickshire
HS2 in your area
Our railway cuts north-west through Warwickshire. It crosses farmland and transport routes before curving towards Birmingham.
What we're building in Warwickshire

Managing impacts of construction
We're working to minimise disruption to local residents and businesses, reduce the impact on roads and transport, minimise our impact on the environment, and keep communities informed at every stage.
Current work in the area
Local area information
We’re making sure HS2 provides the best value for Britain by carrying out a full review of the programme for the government.
Our CEO Mark Wild is resetting HS2’s cost and schedule. He successfully led Crossrail’s recovery in the wake of major challenges. This led to the successful opening of the Elizabeth line – now the busiest in the UK.
