HS1 eyeing HS2

摘要

The Canadian pension-fund owners of the Channel Tunnel rail link have expressed an interest in bidding for HS_2 if it is offered up to the private sector according to The Telegraph. The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP) and Borealis Infrastructure have told the Treasury of their desire to add the new high-speed network to their portfolios once the project is complete. Ministers are considering whether to operate HS_2 as a private-sector concession after Lord Heseltine suggested that doing so could save £10 billion.
