HS2 delays opening to after 2033 due to past issues, but makes progress on major construction with £25.3bn funding.
HS2 has confirmed it won’t meet its original 2029–2033 opening target due to construction challenges and past mismanagement, though it reported significant progress in 2025, including completion of all deep-bore tunnels, major earthworks, and key structures like a 14,500-tonne box under the A46.
The project is undergoing a fundamental reset, cutting 300 corporate roles, increasing frontline staffing, and improving cost controls.
With £25.3bn in government funding secured, HS2 is focused on finishing complex civil engineering work before track and signaling installation, aiming for safe, efficient delivery despite delays.
