HS2’s physical structures should have been “largely completed” by now under the project’s initial timeline but only 60% of the work has been done, MPs were told.

Mark Wild, HS2 Ltd chief executive, said one of the main causes of the delays was starting construction work before designs were finalised and local planning consents were in place.
