High-speed rail project HS2 is set to launch the search for UK-based companies to help build its fleet of new trains.
In 2021, a joint venture between Hitachi and Alstom was awarded the £2 billion contract to build the high-speed trains at their factories in Derby, County Durham and Crewe.
The pair is now teaming up with HS2 to find new suppliers which can work on the interior fit out of 54 new trains which are set to run on phase one of the high-speed line between London and Birmingham within the next decade.
