Question Asked
Asked by:
Ed Miliband (Labour)
Answer
As stated in the publication High Speed 2: from Crewe to Manchester, the West Midlands to Leeds and beyond, journey times on HS2 from Sheffield to Leeds and Birmingham are indicative estimates. The journey time benefits shown for Sheffield to Birmingham are estimated for services using the southern connection from the Eastern Leg of HS2 into Sheffield Midland station; journey times for Sheffield to Leeds are estimated for services using an electrified existing line north of Sheffield Midland and a connection back onto the Eastern Leg of HS2, forming the ‘loop’.
