[Talk-GB] HS2 Phase 1 Construction NTP

[Andy Robinson]

Tony, thus far all the construction activity has been and is enabling works. That is mostly related to relocating utilities (especially the major ones), site clearances and the establishment of the working compounds. Many of these have already in full or in part been mapped into OSM. As yet they haven’t mostly been fencing off the main line route. I expect we will see that happen soon for the over land sections. In London not much change will be visible beyond the current clearances and site compound set-ups. The shafts and portals for the main tunnels will be about the only obvious new work in the future outside of the station developments. The construction of the stations themselves is not yet confirmed.

 

Cheers

Andy

we've seen news reports of parts of the alignment fenced off and invaded by protestors - those parts are certainly under construction, and the pictures show that bulldozers have been active. I think if we can identify those areas then construction is now correct.

Jez, I think the actual rails may be a long way off but I agree it’s an opportunity to stay ahead of the completion.

 

A question for the whole list. How do folks feel about changing the Phase 1 route from rail=proposed to rail=construction. Perhaps it’s a bit premature but then perhaps not.

 

Cheers

Thanks Andy, this is opportunity for OSM to be *the* best source of HS2 rails data.

Government issued Notice to Procced for Phase 1 today, which means the main contracts construction between London and Birmingham will start imminently so keep an eye out for major new works in your area soon (though I expect these will be slow to spot while we are in lockdown!)

 

Till now all works relating to HS2 have been enabling works or design related.

 

Cheers

Andy
