Our latest research: The case for investment in the East Coast Main Line
Investment in both new and existing rail infrastructure projects will play a huge role in our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and help us build back better. Not just in terms of attracting investment and creating jobs, but in the immediate future as we continue to tackle capacity and connectivity constraints.
In this report we outline the economic case for investment in the East Coast Main Line. We are calling for the both the UK and Scottish governments to future proof and invest in the East Coast Main Line as part of a coherent plan for the whole rail network. This will ensure that the line continues to fulfill its potential for the communities it serves, as well as ensuring the wider benefits from these associated major projects are fully realised.
