Video footage: The cause of the chaos on the WCML yesterday. 1Y43 LNWR 14:23 EUS to BHM got a bit tangled in the wires at Bourne End Jnc (Hemel Hempstead).

Last weekend, engineers at #HS2 successfully pushed the first section of the 650m long Duddeston Junction viaduct over two freight lines – with the freight line reopening earlier than expected. Duddeston Junction viaduct is the longest of five viaducts forming the 'Curzon Approaches' – the one-mile stretch of railway that will carry high speed trains into #Birmingham Curzon Street Station.🚄

End of an era. Here’s some of your greatest hits. RIP Spirit Airlines 🪦

This week we’d like to showcase some of the 30,000 people building #HS2. Across more than 350 sites, our workforce is making HS2 a reality — here's a recent snapshot from the Water Orton viaducts. Nearly 80% of HS2's major structures are now complete or under construction. Behind every structure is a team of people building Britain's new high speed railway.👷‍♂️ #HS2InPictures

#HS2 engineers are getting ready to start a major construction programme in Saltley, #Birmingham.🏗️ On 10th May, Saltley Viaduct will close ahead of a four-stage demolition programme. It will be replaced with a brand new structure — two metres taller and wider, to make way for high-speed trains to be built below and create more space for cyclists and pedestrians above.

Cross passage construction complete on our Northolt Tunnel in London 👍. A total of 34 cross passages within the tunnel have been complete; they connect the northbound and southbound tunnel and are a safety feature which allows passengers to cross to the adjacent tunnel in the event of an emergency.

Britain’s railways are in demand like never before. Passenger journeys are increasing 4% every year.🚆 HS2 is being built to create new, separate tracks for long-distance travel, freeing up existing lines for more local, regional and freight services – providing the additional rail capacity the country needs. #HS2 will play a key role in Britain's modern, integrated #rail network.

Meet Muhammad 👋 After a difficult start in life, he joined our delivery partner EKFB in March 2025 through Carmichael UK's ex-offender programme. In less than a year, he's earned an NVQ, his CSCS Blue Skilled Worker card, and is already aiming for project foreman. Muhammad's story is a powerful reminder of what commitment, teamwork and a willingness to learn can achieve. #Jobs #Careers #HS2

Our designs have been approved by @BhamCityCouncil for the public spaces around Curzon Street Station. From Station Square to Paternoster Place, these high-quality spaces will help create a world-class destination in the heart of Birmingham – opening up access to jobs, opportunities and economic growth for the city and the wider region. #HS2 #Birmingham

Our engineers have begun installing a dedicated cycle bridge that will connect the Offchurch Greenway in Warwickshire to Route 41 of the national cycle network. The new bridge will keep cyclists and walkers away from passing traffic, making it an important local asset, as well as forming part of a national cycle route through the English countryside maintained by the charity Walk Wheel Cycle Trust.

Charlotte started her civil engineering degree apprenticeship thinking she wasn’t good at maths. Now she's cracking complex calculations and couldn't be prouder of how far she's come 👷‍♀️. Since starting, Charlotte has grown into a capable engineer. Her apprenticeship journey shows what's possible when you believe in yourself and go for it.

We're building HS2 – Britain's new high-speed railway – to free up space on the existing network, boost economic growth, cut journey times, and support thousands of jobs. 👷‍♂️ Like building a house, we need to construct the railway in the right order, completing each stage safely before moving to the next. ➡️ Watch our animation to see how we're doing it: ow.ly/Au5Q50YFzwm
