24 London West Midlands Heathrow Connectivity Connection to HS1 Connection North onto WCML A longer term network The North West Yorkshire The North East Scotland

25 Birmingham Route Options London

26 Phase 1 Potential new transport hub & regeneration Birmingham New interchange, airport connection, and park & ride Twin stations serve London and Heathrow Airport London

27 A balanced network => Maximise value for money

28 London Station Options

29 29 Euston

30

31

32 Birmingham Curzon Street Station

33 The Y - Network To London...and the start of a Network

34 Summary (1) High Speed Rail can be transformational: More than trains going faster Wider economic benefits Environmental benefits Need to Maximise the value

35 Summary (2) Maximising the Benefits: A high-speed line can become a catalyst for wider economic benefits. - But it cannot simply generate them in a vacuum. The most effective use of high-speed rail access has come with those cities demonstrating an integrated city strategy, consistently implemented over time in cooperation with all interests and with committed political leadership. The examples where this proactive approach has not been followed, such as Tours / St Pierre des Corps, have not benefited.
