HS2 in Warwickshire

The southern section of HS2 in Warwickshire includes two viaducts in the Radbourne area, before passing Southam and entering a tunnel underneath Long Itchington Wood.  The route travels on viaducts over the River Itchen and the Oxford Canal as it continues through the county. 

HS2 then travels north-west of Bascote Heath, including past Offchurch and Cubbington. The route also passes through Burton Green, in a ‘green tunnel’ designed to minimise our impact on the area, before moving on towards the state-of-the-art Interchange Station over the border in Solihull. 

After Interchange Station, the North Warwickshire section passes to the west of Coleshill, as it crosses the M6 and M42 motorways, towards what is known as the ‘Delta Junction’ near Water Orton. The Delta Junction area of the route consists of three sections, comprising the main line of the railway, and two spurs running in and out of Birmingham City Centre towards Curzon Street Station – the heart of the HS2 network. 

Further north of the junction, the route passes through Lea Marston where it splits to join the Phase 2b route in a north- easterly direction past Kingsbury. The Phase One line continues north, past Middleton, where it leaves the county.
