UK Construction Online releases latest regional HS2 eBooks
It has been a long time coming. Construction of HS2 – the hotly-anticipated high speed rail network linking north and south – is due to begin in earnest later this year, bringing with it a host of job opportunities and economic benefits post-Brexit.
Arguably, no infrastructure scheme in recent memory has had the potential to transform the UK that HS2 does. It’s a hugely ambitious undertaking. So much so that it will likely be 2033 before rail-goers can journey from London to Edinburgh in three short hours.
And yet, HS2 is about a lot more than mere logistics. It is a vision of a better connected future – one which unifies cities and regions across the country and readies the UK economy for life outside the European Union.
UK Construction Online has released its new editions of three exclusive eBooks exploring the implications for the southern, central and northern regions, and reflects on the latest HS2 news and opinions from within the industry.
