£760M funding boost allows ‘vital construction’ to begin on East West Rail
The next phase of construction can begin on the East West Rail project after the government pledged £760M to support the rail line between Oxford and Cambridge.
An East West Rail spokesperson said that the investment means “further vital construction work can begin” on the next phase of the scheme.
The funding is for part of the line between Oxford and Bletchley/Milton Keynes and means this section of East West Rail is expected to be up and running by 2025.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps said: “Restoring railways helps put communities back on the map and this investment forms part of our nationwide effort to build back vital connections and unlock access to jobs, education and housing.
