Wakefield,O J W, and Barron, A J M. 2015. GSI3D Model metadata report for HS2 Area 6 (Cubbington to Hampton-in-Arden). British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/15/044.

The model purpose was to model the bedrock, superficial and artificial ground following the proposed High Speed Rail link between London and Birmingham (HS2). This model area covers a 25 km section of the route, between Birmingham, Coventry and Warwick in the Warwickshire Coalfield (Figure 1). The model comprises the bedrock geology, superficial deposits and artificial ground of Area 6. This is one of an initial group of nine models along the planned route. The model is suitable for use at scales between 1:100 000 and 1:10 000 to a depth of 30 m below Ordnance Datum (OD).

Figure 1    Location of the model area outlined in black, with the proposed HS2 route shown in blue. BGS 1:50,000 scale map sheet areas are shown in red.
