East West Rail Line
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government plans to extend East-West Rail to (a) Cardiff, (b) Bristol and (c) Norwich.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
East West Rail (EWR) is a new railway that will connect Oxford-Cambridge and cities and towns in between. The proposed service pattern on the line was set out in the EWR consultation in November 2024. There are key interchanges with major rail lines along the route and connections with long distance services will be subject to future decision.
