<p>HS2 Phase 2b is at a much earlier stage of development than other phases of the
HS2 project, with baseline cost and schedule information still being finalised. It
is also being looked at as part of the Integrated Rail Plan, which will soon outline
exactly how major rail projects, including HS2 phase 2b and other transformational
projects such as Northern Powerhouse Rail, will work together to deliver the reliable
train services that passengers across the North and Midlands need and deserve. This
will provide further certainty on issues like phasing on HS2 Phase 2b, which, together
with approvals on baseline cost and schedule information, will allow the project to
proceed to its next stage and in turn improve delivery confidence.</p>
