High Speed 2 Line: Birmingham
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she expects HS2 Limited to complete its review of the timetable for releasing land for redevelopment at the Washwood Heath rolling stock maintenance yard.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
HS2 Ltd is undertaking a sprint project that aims to identify and unlock opportunities for early release of land currently held for HS2 between London and Birmingham, around its stations and the Washwood Heath depot hub, to support both regeneration and economic growth. This work is part of – and its timing is therefore linked to – the reset of the HS2 programme, and is due to be completed in early 2026.
