Planes, Trains, Boats & Automobiles (and Maps)
summary
Argument that HS2 frees capacity on existing lines for freight by shifting passengers onto a 350 km/h top speed high‑frequency network (trains about every three minutes), backed by a technology plan that uses Wardley mapping, 5D modeling and open APIs / open data. Delivered assets include interactive geospatial maps and a street‑view of the route plus VR proofs of concept; migration to cloud and visualization work claims over 95% cost reduction versus on‑premise and over 90% infrastructure moved to cloud.
