Written question asked by Lord Berkeley (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 12 May 2014.
Railways: High Speed 2
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the lack of planned rail connection between HS1 and HS2 would mean that HS2 could not be designated as part of the TEN-T network.[HL6842]
- Answer
-
Removal of the HS1 link proposal should not affect the designation of HS2. Commission Regulation EU No 1315/2013 includes the maps which define the TEN-T network. Phase 1 of HS2 is on the TEN-T Core Network as it is expected to be completed before 2030, the target date in the TEN-T Regulation for the Core Network. Phase 2, the ‘Y’ section, is on the Comprehensive Network as it will not be completed until after this date.
