After concluding that the project should proceed, the review recommended a further review of HS2 that would be undertaken by the <a href="/wiki/Infrastructure_and_Projects_Authority" title="Infrastructure and Projects Authority">Infrastructure and Projects Authority</a> and would concentrate on reducing costs and over-specification.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> On 15 April 2020, formal approval was given to construction companies to start work on the project.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> In July 2023 the Infrastructure Projects Authority annual report gave Phases 1 and 2A project a "red" <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/infrastructure-and-projects-authority-annual-report-2022-23">rating</a>, meaning "Successful delivery of the project appears to be unachievable.

Under the original proposal for the eastern leg, the high-speed line would have been built with a link to the <a href="/wiki/East_Coast_Main_Line" title="East Coast Main Line">East Coast Main Line</a> south of York for trains to continue to Newcastle. A branch would take trains into Leeds. There would also have been a branch to the <a href="/wiki/Midland_Main_Line" title="Midland Main Line">Midland Main Line</a> north of Derby for trains to continue to Sheffield. The original scheme also included a through station at <a href="/wiki/Toton" title="Toton">Toton</a>, between Nottingham and Derby. The HS2 eastern section was largely eliminated, leaving a branch from <a href="/wiki/Coleshill,_Warwickshire" title="Coleshill, Warwickshire">Coleshill</a> near Birmingham to East Midlands Parkway station, just south of Nottingham and Derby, where the HS2 track would end, with trains continuing north onto the Midland Main Line to serve the existing stations at Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield, and Sheffield. HS2 trains would serve the centres of Nottingham and Derby, unlike in the previous proposal. Upgrades to the East Coast Main Line were proposed to offer time improvements on the London to Leeds and Newcastle routes. Services from Birmingham to Leeds and Newcastle were planned to use the remaining section of the HS2 eastern leg. The London to Sheffield service will remain on the Midland Main Line, equalling the proposed original HS2 journey times. The integrated Rail Plan proposed a study to determine the best method for HS2 trains to reach Leeds.

section: Procurement timeline">edit</a>]</div> The 2010 DfT government command-paper outlined some requirements for the train design among its recommendations for design standards for the HS2 network. The paper addressed the particular problem of designing trains to continental European standards, which use taller and wider rolling stock, compared to the loading gauges that exist in the rail network in Great Britain, meaning both trains which would remain on the HS2 line, built to larger, continental European profile ('captive' trains), and smaller trains which could leave the line onto the existing network ('conventional-compatible' trains) were proposed.<a href="#cite_note-135">[135]</a> Trains would have a maximum speed of at least 360 km/h (225 mph) and a length of 200 metres (660 ft); two units could be joined for a 400-metre (1,300 ft) train.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDfT2010129-124">[124]</a> The DfT report also considered the possibility of "gauge clearance" work on non-high-speed lines as an alternative to conventional trains. This work would involve extensive reconstruction of stations, tunnels, and bridges, and the widening of clearances to allow Continental European–profile trains to operate beyond the high-speed network. The report concluded that, although initial outlay on commissioning new rolling stock would be high, it would cost less than the widespread disruption of rebuilding large tracts of Britain's rail infrastructure.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDfT2010129-124">[124]</a> Alstom, one of the bidders for the contract to build the trains, proposed in October 2016 that HS2 "tilting trains" could run on HS2 and conventional tracks, to increase overall speeds when operating on conventional tracks.<a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a><a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a> The estimated cost of energy for operating HS2 trains on the high-speed network was estimated in 2013 to be £3.90 per km for 200-metre (656 ft) long trains and £5.00 per km for 260-metre (853 ft) long trains.
