Description

East West Rail is an ambitious project that involves bringing back into use a section of railway that was closed to passengers in the 1960s, refurbishing existing railway lines between Oxford and Bedford, as well as building brand new railway infrastructure between Bedford and Cambridge. East West Railway Company (EWR Co) was set up as an innovative new way to deliver this project with a customer focus and excellent value-for-money.
