NEWS

A report for the Association of Train Operating Companies advocates around 14 new or re-opened railways or stations between 2014 and 2019. Initial analysis shows a positive benefit/cost ratio for hourly trains from Birmingham or Peterborough to Wisbech.

Wisbech is at present served by half-hourly air-conditioned coaches from Peterborough station.

The report also suggests further study of a service from Oxford/Milton Keynes to Peterborough via Corby and Stamford, as planned in the early ‘90s.

The publication of this report does not imply that any money has been allocated to explore these schemes.
