The full East West Rail (EWR) scheme (Oxford to Cambridge) is planned to be delivered, and operational for passenger and freight services, by the end of the decade. We are currently working hard with the East West Railway Company and Network Rail to develop the right future service patterns for the scheme. This will help ensure that EWR objectives are achieved and provide the best possible connectivity for the communities and customers.<\/p>

<\/p>

Plans, including costs, for the whole scheme are still in development. We will release further details in due course.<\/p>

<\/p>

Environmental implications and ensuring economic sustainability have been important parts of the decision-making process for the EWR scheme.
