The East West Rail programme is a once in a generation opportunity to connect people and businesses between Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford, Cambridge and beyond through a new direct rail line. It is a railway with community at its heart that will open up new journeys, cut travel times, and ease congestion on local roads. The route will connect people to the things and places that matter, bringing local benefit and sustainable growth by unlocking the social and economic potential of the area.
Join the RCEA at this year’s annual conference where the East West Rail project will be explored in detail.
The conference will begin with a look at the work of the East West Rail Alliance on the recently commissioned connection stage one between Bicester and Bletchley, including a panel discussion with EWR Alliance colleagues (Adrian Richardson, Lucy Ellis and Tom Bates from Volker Rail, Laing O’Rourke and AtkinsRéalis).
This will be followed by a presentation by the East West Rail Company on the next steps for the project towards Cambridge, including details of the recently launched consultation.
Prior to the presentations a buffet lunch will be provided to allow attendees to meet and network.
The lunch is free for RCEA members. Other attendees will be charged a £25 booking fee.
