Trains currently travel at 125 mph (200 km/h) on the East Coast Main Line, Great Western main line, Midland Main Line, parts of the Cross Country Route, and the West Coast Main Line.On the latter line, only tilting trains can reach this maximum speed due to the difficult track geometry.. The report proposed the development of two new types of train to make the best use of the line:[168], Both types of train would have a maximum speed of at least 360 km/h (225 mph) and a length of 200 metres (660 ft); two units could be joined together for a 400-metre (1,300 ft) train.

HS2's proposed options include improvements to pedestrian links between the two stations and the construction of an automated people mover. In more recent years, temperatures have occasionally reached over 30 Celsius. The DfT should revise the funding envelope and business case in response to the cost estimates in the report; Costs should be controlled and the procurement and contracting strategy—which was partially responsible for cost estimates increasing—be examined; The DfT should model for a reduced service frequency of fourteen trains per hour, with passive provision for two more; Phase 2a should be constructed alongside Phase 1, and the connection to the.
