In the UK, three routes have been picked, that could see the following lines built:
- A North to South route, connecting London to Edinburgh via Manchester and Birmingham. The total journey time would be 50 minutes.
- A 'Northern Arc' from Liverpool to Glasgow, via Manchester, Newcastle Leeds and Edinburgh. The total journey time would be 47 minutes.
- A Scotland to Wales route, running from Cardiff to Glasgow. The total journey time would be 50 minutes.
It seems likely that these three routes will interconnect, to allow passengers to transfer between lines.
