HS2 has confirmed that a set of proposed changes to the HS2 network to Manchester has been introduced to Parliament<\/h2>\n

The submission of Additional Provision 2 (AP2) is an important milestone in the parliamentary process. This will keep HS2<\/a> on track to open the Crewe to Manchester extension between 2035 and 2041.<\/p>\n

The HS2 Crewe – Manchester Bill was submitted to Parliament in January 2022. The first set of proposed changes to the Bill (AP1) was introduced six months later.<\/p>\n

One year on from the submission of AP1, communities are now invited to view the latest set of proposed changes and have their say on the supporting documentation through public consultation.<\/p>\n

The consultation opens at 09:00 on 4 July\u00a0and closes\u00a011:45 on 31 August 2023.<\/p>\n

Stephen Smith, head of consultation and engagement for HS2\u2019s Phase 2b programme, said: \u201cExtending the HS2 network to Manchester<\/a> will vastly improve connectivity between the UK\u2019s major towns and cities, while freeing up vital capacity on the existing rail network for more local and regional rail services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis latest set of design changes reflects our ongoing commitment to minimise disruption during the construction and operational phases. Feedback from communities plays a vital role in the design process and we encourage people to have their say before the consultation closes.\u201d<\/p>\n
