Time to get on with building HS2

Thousands of skilled jobs depend on the project in construction and the supply chain

GMB, the union for HS2 workers, says there is no room for any further political delays with the high-speed rail project.

The Government today announced the rail upgrade would definitely be completed. 

Jude Brimble, GMB National Secretary, said:

"The reality is that HS2 is happening and the Government should get on with it.

“Thousands of skilled jobs depend on the project in construction and the supply chain.

“Ministers must concentrate on making HS2 a model of good employment practice while making sure our members can get on with building world class infrastructure in the Midlands and the North."
