HS2 Rail link rated 'unachievable' by infrastructure watchdog

2 years ago

The HS2 rail line has been given an "unachievable" rating by an official watchdog. It has been given a "red" warning for its first two phases - from London to Birmingham then onto Crewe - by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority. The project aims to create high-speed rail links between London and central and northern England, but has faced major delays and criticism.
The government says it remains committed to delivering HS2.
The red rating came in the IPA's annual report on major projects, which was published on 20 July and gave a snapshot of progress on 244 projects.
The IPA describes itself as the government's centre of expertise for infrastructure and major projects, and reports to the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. Under the IPA's grading system, a red rating implies: "Successful delivery of the project appears to be unachievable."
