HS2 delivery 'very ambitious'

摘要

DfT has set HS2 Ltd a schedule for achieving delivery readiness that is 'very ambitious', putting the 2026 target opening date for Phase 1 'at risk'. That is the conclusion of the National Audit Office in its departmental overview of DfT for 2015-16 (right). NAO adds that with the programme facing cost and schedule pressures, DfT and HS2 Ltd are considering the impact of extending the Phase 1 schedule by up to 12 months.
