Based on the latest publicly available reporting in 2025, there is no confirmed final completion date for HS2. The project has faced multiple delays and resets, and official communications in mid-2025 indicated ongoing reviews and a restructuring of the programme, with no new fixed completion date announced at that time. Key points from 2025 updates:
- The original plan aimed for major completion around 2033, but a 2025 update noted delays and an absence of a new firm end date.
- In mid-2025, reports suggested potential openings for portions of the line could slip into the mid-2030s, but no official, final date was published.
- A significant milestone in 2025 was the completion of a major tunnelling breakthrough in the Bromford tunnel, yet this did not translate into a confirmed overall project completion date.
- Government and HS2 communications around mid-2025 highlighted ongoing reviews and a “reset” of the programme, with emphasis on cost controls and governance rather than a fixed timetable.
