The opportunity

Allowing an additional three passenger trains each hour and twelve more long-distance freight trains each day connecting the UK regions. The additional capacity assists East West Rail in introducing trains to/from Milton Keynes in 2024 and the re-opening of the Cowley Branch Line to passengers.
