We’re building a new station at Curzon Street in Birmingham city centre. This is where HS2 trains will arrive in Birmingham.

Washwood Heath depot and network integrated control centre
The maintenance building will be the main hub for operations at the site. We’ll use it to maintain the HS2 train fleet and store materials and equipment.
The network integrated control centre will oversee the whole HS2 network. It’s at the centre of the Washwood Heath depot site. This will be a standalone building for the operational and management functions of the HS2 network.

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.
