If you have any concerns or questions about the construction of the HS2 high-speed rail link, then phone the HS2 helpline telephone number 0808 143 4434. Or if you prefer, you can email the HS2 community liaison team on HS2enquiries@hs2.org.uk
The HS2 is a high-speed train line that is projected to connect London to the Midlands, the North-west and even Scotland. It will cut commuter time massively making it possible to live in Birmingham and work in London. It is hoped that the connection to London will help tackle the north-south divide that has long plagued the UK economy. Although it is expected that the HS2 construction will boost the UK economy there will be costs to the environment and to local communities. In order to assuage the fears of environmentalists and local residents the Government have set up a 24 hours HS2 helpline for people to call to voice their concerns. The number is 0808 143 4434.
Below is an illustration of the HS2 route map.
HS2 Helpline – 0808 143 4434
This is a 24 hour helpline for UK residents to find out about HS2 work in your area. When you phone the HS2 helpline you will be provided with a reference number which you can use in all future correspondence with the HS2 community liaison team.
For example if you live in an area that may be effected by the construction of this rail link you can phone to find out how close the line will be to your home.
Below is a Twitter exchange in which Chiltern Council direct a resident to the HS2 Helpline number, as well as the HS2 email contact address.
Hi James. We have merely provided a room for this to take place, not involved in organising. Best to contact HS2enquiries@HS2.org.uk or call 08081434434 with any comments. Thanks

It doubles as a complaints line that can be used to oppose or complain about the effects of construction in your area. It can also be used by the public to voice their concerns about the environment effects of HS2 project.
