<p>It is important to be clear that the Ely Junction upgrade scheme is a rail project
and not a road project. The recently announced Network North programme of investment
included confirmation of government’s support for the Ely Area Capacity Enhancement
(EACE) programme and the substantial benefits this will bring, including a doubling
of passenger services on the Ely to Kings Lynn and Ipswich to Peterborough routes
together with additional freight paths into the Port of Felixstowe.</p><p>Network
Rail have developed the scheme to Outline Business Case stage; next steps will involve
further investment case development and delivery planning.</p>
