UK’s government-funded company High Speed Two Limited has formally launched full construction works of the HS2 railway from London to Birmingham and Crewe. This project, which is considered as the largest one in Europe, will create around 22,000 new jobs. It is expected that the first high-speed trains will start to run between the stations of Old Oak Common, in London, and Birmingham Curzon Street within the period from 2029 to 2033.
