The eight-week consultation will offer communities along the route a vital opportunity to have their say on the latest plans and help shape the final design of the railway before a Development Consent Order is submitted in 2027.
The consultation will provide latest designs and information on East West Rail, including:
· New high-resolution images of stations and fly-through animations of route sections
· More details on a phased construction period to deliver parts of the project earlier so that communities feel the benefits sooner
· New stations/upgrades to existing stations
· Proposed service patterns and carriage lengths to meet the demand for Universal theme park
· Level crossings
· Discontinuous electrification with hybrid electric/battery trains to support net zero goals
· Reducing environmental impacts and a commitment to biodiversity net gain
They are holding a series of public drop-in events along the route, including weekend and online sessions, which will give people the chance to speak directly with their team of experts. A virtual consultation room will also host event materials online, so everyone can access the information and provide feedback in a way that suits them.
While this is the last route-wide consultation, they will continue to engage with communities as the design is finalised ahead of DCO submission.
