(asked on 24th March 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many freight trains they expect to use East West Rail per day.
This question was answered on 7th April 2025
The current scope of EWR enables up to two new freight train paths per day per direction from Felixstowe, routed via Cambridge, through to Oxford and beyond, and around two new freight train paths per day from Southampton, routed via Oxford, Bletchley and onto the West Coast Main Line. Other enhancements on the network would be required for freight to exceed these levels.
