This question was answered on 8th February 2017
High Speed 2 will transform our country’s railways and airport connectivity. As part of Phase One, there will be access to Birmingham Airport via a high capacity people mover at Birmingham Interchange, and excellent links to Heathrow via direct train links at Old Oak Common. Phase Two will further improve regional airport connectivity, with a dedicated HS2 station to Manchester Airport. The new HS2 station at Toton will allow easy access to East Midlands airport.
