Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The seminar session “Levelling Up and the Role of HS2” will explore and discuss: the role of railways in general and HSR specifically, in the ‘Levelling Up’ agenda; railways’ contribution to addressing social and regional inequalities and HS2’s relevant impacts; the future prospects of HS2; benefits that will be brought to Birmingham and other cities connected by the HS2 network; implications for Leeds and the North considering the latest governmental plans to cancel the HS2 Link to Leeds; potential alternatives for the North; and finally, a reflection on risks imposed by Covid-19 on railway travelling patterns, rail industry, and future projects.
