Oxford City councillors have been urged to keep the focus on reopening Oxford’s Cowley Branch Line rather than larger rail projects that could emanate from it.
This next stage of work will culminate in the production of a Full Business Case (FBC) that will set out, amongst other things, how the project could be implemented and how it could be funded, including any proposed Government funding.
The Oxfordshire Rail Corridor Study (ORCS) looks in detail at the county’s predicted growth in jobs and housing over the next two decades and how the rail network can best support it.
