High Speed 2 is the UK’s latest transport megaproject. Billed as the largest ever investment in the country’s rail, its first phase will link London in the south via 230km of high-speed rail with Birmingham in the West Midlands.

With a focus on innovation and new technologies available, the project is determined to avoid the mistakes of the past.

Immersive virtual reality, emotion sensing, and eye-tracking will come together to revolutionise the way we design stations.
