To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which high-speed rail projects are planned to be completed in 2015.
In 2015 we expect the High Speed Rail (London-West Midlands) Bill for HS2 Phase One to continue its progress through Parliament. We will continue to review and refine proposals for the Phase Two route from West Midlands to Manchester, Leeds and beyond to ensure they bring the best solution in terms of connectivity and economic growth for the regions. Any further announcements and decisions on the Phase Two route are currently expected to be made in 2015 but could come later.
It is also expected that in 2015 we will commence ground investigation works enabled by the HS2 Preparation Bill (2013).
