GCP Welcomes Plans for Cambridge to Oxford Rapid Transport Links

24/11/2017

The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) has welcomed news of Government backing for new and rapid road and rail links between Cambridge and Oxford. In a new report, the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) has urged Government to accelerate its investment in the ‘Cambridge-Milton-Keynes-Oxford arc’ - to enable the delivery of thousands of new homes and jobs and add hundreds of billions of pounds to the national economy.

The NIC report praises the GCP’s current strategy to address:
  • ‘First-last mile’ journeys in the city area; and
  • Its “bold” vision for future transport solutions as a means of unlocking further and wider growth.
The outcome of a feasibility study into future transport solutions, commissioned jointly by GCP and the Combined Authority, which includes looking at the potential for an underground metro system, is due to be published in early 2018.

Elsewhere, the GCP’s on-going work to build upon existing high levels of sustainable travel in Cambridge by encouraging more people to shift to public transport, cycle or on foot, is viewed as “coherent” and in keeping with the broader east-west strategy.
