    Routes could be let on concessions or time-led licences under plans unveiled by High Speed 1 Chief Executive Nicola Shaw in this report. These could last between 20 and 30 years, and could come into effect from the start of the next Control Period in 2019. They are designed to attract finance from outside the industry that can be used for enhancements. The proposals will be the subject of public testing prior to implementation. No radical proposals, Shaw recommends more devolution but does not support privatisation.
