In partnership with Decarbonising Transport Week - the UK's National Awareness Week highlighting the solutions to transition to a low carbon transport system - this webinar explores:

  • The project and operation of HS2 - delivering zero carbon travel between London, Birmingham, Manchester, and the biggest cities in Scotland.
  • HS2's modal shift impact - enabling more journeys to be made by electric powered trains and active forms of travel in place of fossil fuelled road vehicles and planes.
  • The prevalence of high-speed rail in Europe and how it has decarbonised the continent's transport system.

- Good afternoon and welcome to our webinar, "HS2: On track to net zero." I'm Marina Garcia Gomez, and I'm a project management graduate, recently joined HS2. We're really proud to bring you this webinar in support of Decarbonizing Transport Week, the UK's National Awareness Week, which provides a dedicated platform to voice opinions, share advice and information to help us highlight the solutions to deliver the biggest gains in our transition to a low carbon transport network.
