Birmingham’s HS2 stations part of £220m partner search

HS2 has begun its search for partners to deliver four stations, including Birmingham’s Curzon Street and Interchange.

The projects, with a value of £220m, also cover a major expansion of London Euston and a new station at London’s Old Oak Common.

Transport Minister Andrew Jones said: “The search for design teams to produce plans for new stations and world-class amenities for London Euston, Old Oak Common, Birmingham Interchange and Birmingham Curzon Street stations is a major step towards making HS2 a catalyst for growth across the country.

“The winning bidders will need to ensure the stations provide the best possible customer experience.”

HS2 is looking for architects, designers and developers to deliver the projects.

“All four present unique challenges and opportunities for the winning bidders,” said HS2 Ltd Commercial Director Beth West.

“Together we will deliver world-class designs that help unlock wider local regeneration opportunities and provide unparalleled levels of accessibility, ease and convenience for the travelling public.”
