Transport

The Lib Dems are making high speed rail a reality, helping us to build a stronger, more balanced economy and create 100,000 jobs.


A stronger, more balanced economy

High Speed 2 (HS2) will link London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, boosting growth and investment in regions outside London and the South East.





Creating 100,000 jobs

HS2 will create 100,000 jobs directly and support up to 1 million jobs in the long term.





Cutting Journey Times

HS2 will reduce journey times and transfer around 9 million journeys from road to rail and 4.5 million from air to rail.
