French engineering and consulting group Systra was involved in every high-speed rail line in France and 50% worldwide. In the UK, Systra worked on Crossrail and the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme, as well as being a member of Rail Link Engineering, which was the organisation responsible for the design and engineering of High-Speed 1 (HS1).

British engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald has been involved in HS2 for more than six years, providing a broad range of planning, engineering and environmental services.
