Connecting people and places

EEH’s work on bus has earned us recognition from DfT. We’re developing plans for a Heartbeat regional bus network, while supporting partners identify opportunities to improve services and advocate for additional funding.

We’re working to ensure East West Rail is integrated into the wider transport system, ensuring as many people as possible can access stations, while also considering how it can boost tourism and access to green spaces.

Upgrading Ely and Haughley junctions will transform the way goods are transported from the Port of Felixstowe to the Midlands and North – cutting congestion on our roads, while also significantly improving passenger services.

By utilising delivery of East West Rail (including the Aylesbury-Milton Keynes link) and HS2, there is an opportunity to create a corridor better linking the towns and cities running down the central spine of our region, while also improving access to Heathrow Airport.

An affordable, quick win opportunity has arisen which would finally see direct, full-time rail services resume between Oxford and Swindon, Bath and Bristol, connecting dynamic economies, universities and tourist destinations.
