It will be built in two phases the first of which will see the construction of a new 140 mile line between London and Birmingham by 2026; the second phase will see lines built from Birmingham to Leeds and Manchester by 2033. The new network will have considerably higher passenger capacity along the key transport corridors of Britain with up to 26 000 extra passenger seats an hour and reduced journey times from London to Birmingham from 1 hour 24 minutes to 45 minutes.
