The EU’s TEN-T Programme will co-finance with almost EUR 3M preparatory studies for the link between UK’s two main rail lines aiming to improve their connection with the country’s high speed rail network and increase their overall capacity.
The project concerns studies on options for the link between the Great Western Main Line (GWML) and the West Coast Main Line (WCML) to connect western London to the high speed rail network and improve the connection between London and northern England. The new connections would extend the Crossrail services currently operating in London and the south-east to the WCML’s southern end.
Total project cost covered is EUR 5,851,640, and the EU contribution is EUR 2,925,820.
The project is to be completed by December 2015.
