High Speed Rail

HS2

Looking to work with the most exciting rail development, creating 250mph networks from London to Birmingham and Leeds?

What is HS2 London to Birmingham?

HS2 is the new High-Speed Rail link planned for 2026 to connect London and Birmingham and by 2033 include Leeds and Manchester to create a more connected Britain on a faster network.

London to Birmingham in 49 minutes

Traditional transport lines may take upwards of 1 hour 20 minutes. With connecting trains and multiple stops, this can easily be a long and tedious journey, mostly unsuitable for a London work commute.

The new HS2 line cuts that time to 49 minutes allowing for more external London commuting, therefore lower entry prices to jobs and working in the capital.

Construction & HS2

At Randstad we are committed to seeing the future of a more connected Britain, improving workforce distribution and opportunities by thinking human forward first.

Investing in the UK

HS2 will bring over £92 billion of benefits. For every £1 spent on HS2 the UK will receive £2.30 in benefits.

Sustainability

Integrated into the landscape with green corridors to replace, enhance and conserve. HS2 is designed with wildlife and environmental impact in mind for a long term sustainable development.
