Responding to the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee report into HS2, Michael Roberts, Director General of the Rail Delivery Group representing Network Rail and train operators, said:

“With the UK’s urban population forecast to grow by 14 million by 2050, HS2 has an important part to play in providing the extra services, longer trains and faster journeys that will be needed by long distance, commuter and freight customers.

“HS2 can transform the rail network and the rail industry is working closely with government, HS2 Ltd, passenger groups and suppliers to maximise the benefits of this important project.”
