The high speed rail network in UK will become fully functional by spring next year.
Detailing the UK government’s plans, on December 14, the British transport secretary, Lord Adonis, stated that he was hopeful about circulating the essential details of the network by March. A public consultation process in August 2010 would follow a White Paper dissemination of the proposal.
Speaking at an event organised to announce the opening of UK’s only high speed rail line, ‘High Speed One’ to general commuters in Kent, Lord Adonis expressed the hope that the line would set benchmarks for the whole of Britain to follow.
Lord Adonis also conveyed his expectations from the report to be submitted by ‘High Speed Two’, a corporation conceived to guide the expansion of a high speed network connecting London and Scotland. According to him, a careful assessment of the report would pave the way for smooth implementation of high speed rail in spring.
The UK Department for Transport too vouched for the criticality of the High Speed Two report, towards the proliferation of high speed rail in Britain.
