Spending Review 2015 restated the funding envelope for delivery of HS2 at £55.7bn, in 2015 prices. This breaks down as £27.2bn for Phase 1 (including rolling stock), £3.7bn for Phase 2a, and £24.8bn for Phase 2b (including rolling stock). We do not provide funding breakdowns for specific items such as stations due to commercial sensitivities.
