From Burden to Benefit

Billions of taxpayers’ funds have been invested in HS2 infrastructure that’s already built. The project is financed by borrowing and has no valid business case. The country cannot afford HS2 – it will burden future generations with debt and require ongoing subsidies.

We can’t go back in time and stop what has been wasted to date, but these assets can be repurposed into something valuable for Britain’s future. HS2 is 1990s technology designed for outdated working patterns, while our future will be radically different. Rather than persisting with an obsolete vision, we can transform existing infrastructure to meet tomorrow’s actual needs. This platform is your opportunity to help chart a better course.

The Objective – Being Prepared

Preparing for the possible

While the Government maintains its massively expensive commitment to HS2 Phase 1, there is a real possibility that the project will be cancelled or mothballed. A financial crisis, mounting public pressure, or fiscal reality could force this decision at any point.

We cannot afford to be caught unprepared.

When that moment comes, we need ready-made solutions for the billions already invested in infrastructure. Solutions that underpin economic growth, create jobs, and generate opportunities for businesses are what is needed. Rather than scrambling for answers after cancellation, this platform develops viable alternatives now.

Our objective is simple: ensure that when HS2‘s future is reconsidered, decision-makers have well-researched, community-backed options that transform existing assets into genuine value for Britain.

The question isn’t if circumstances will change – it’s whether we’ll be ready when they do.

How It Works

Forum-Based Innovation Process

Our platform uses a structured, community-driven approach to generate and develop solutions:

Stage 1: Idea Generation Ideas are born in our open forum where anyone can contribute thoughts, suggestions, and creative solutions for repurposing HS2 infrastructure.

Stage 2: Community Validation Ideas that gain sufficient traction and social proof from the community are converted into distinct, standalone proposals for further development.

Stage 3: Collaborative Development Selected ideas are refined and expanded through collaborative input, with contributors building on each other’s insights to create comprehensive solutions.

Stage 4: Community Evaluation (Future) Once we have a robust collection of developed ideas, the community will vote on proposals to select the most promising options for recommendation.

Join the conversation. Every voice matters in shaping HS2’s future.
