The Wormleighton stretch is one of the earliest parts of the HS2 construction program and involved a cutting being excavated ( centre of the image ). HS2 , or High Speed two, is a £56.6 billion new high speed railway link between London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds which will allow trains to run at up to 225 mph.
