Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are aware of any proposals for a scheme to double the single railway line between Soham and Ely on the line between Felixstowe and the north of England.
The ‘Soham Area Capacity Enhancement’ scheme is at an early stage of development as part of the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline. Addressing this pinch-point is a key enabler for growing the number of freight trains on the nationally important corridor from Felixstowe to the Midlands and North.
