High Speed 2 Line

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what forecast his Department has made of the number of passengers from each London transport zone who will board or leave High Speed 2 (HS2) trains in London in each phase of HS2; and what forecast he has made of the number and proportion of such passengers who will so board or leave at Euston.

Answer

There is no specific forecast available of the number of passengers from each London zone who will board or alight from HS2. Our forecasts of the split of passengers between HS2 and other rail services is undertaken at the level of station to station passenger movements as opposed to the level of start locations.
