Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander addressed the House of Commons, emphasizing the urgent need to address the ongoing issues surrounding HS2, which is now confirmed to be delayed beyond the 2033 target. Alexander acknowledged the "appalling mess" and assured MPs that the government intends to establish realistic targets. The High Speed Rail Group supports the need for a reset, highlighting changes in leadership and a commitment to enhancing efficiency and restoring public confidence in the project, essential for boosting UK regional economies and connectivity.
It's an appalling mess, but it's one we will sort out. We need to set targets which we can confidently deliver, that the public can trust.
HS2 has long required a fundamental reset, and today's reports mark an important step in that direction. This reset begins the difficult but essential task of restoring confidence.
