A report to government by HS2 Ltd (January 2013)
This report describes all the route optimisation work undertaken by HS2 Ltd since providing its initial advice in March 2012.
The report includes refinements to the western leg of phase two from the West Midlands to Manchester and on the eastern leg from the West Midlands to Leeds.
It provides advice on the proposed spur to Heathrow which government has now paused work on until after the Airports Commission has reported and there has been an opportunity to consider the commission’s recommendations.
The report also sets out the further discussions HS2 Ltd has had with Natural England and the Environment Agency and the additional studies carried out to advise government on specific protected sites.
