Sponsor High Speed 2 Development
Be Part of Britain’s Longest & Most Expensive Inside Joke
The High Speed 2 (HS2) rail project needs YOU. After careful budgeting, mismanagement, further planning for failure, failing to fail in the expected way, we're excited to offer you, the tax payer who funded it to begin with, the exciting an exclusive opportunity to sponsor segments of the railway you'll never be able to afford to use.
How does it work?
With HMGOV.UK's HS2 Sponsorship program, you can sponsor a segment of track to ensure completion before your death*
*Completion of HS2 is not guaranteed before your death or the year 2065 (whichever comes last)

Premium Sponsorship (£49,950)
