High Speed Rail Project
Overview
This consultation aims to establish a clear vision for the new rail line in the South of England and sets out what we feel is required to make sure that rail can serve the needs and expectations of passengers, continues to support the region's economy, and helps deliver housing and jobs growth.
The original Rail Prospectus was adopted in 2013. It is being reviewed following a general stabilisation in rail travel following the Covid 19 pandemic and more certainty about the future direction of rail given the Williams Rail Review and the government’s intentions for the industry as outlined in its manifesto commitments.
The revised prospectus sets out our priorities for stations and lines, as well as for large cross country infrastructure projects such as HS2 and East West Rail.
Why your views matter
It is important that all neccessary stakeholders have their say on the proposed rail routes laid out in our plans. This consultation seeks the input from the general public, statutory stakeholders, environmental groups, community groups and industry stakeholders. The results of this consultation will help to infrom our decision making process.
