A campaign for Cowley branch line has been launched.
The campaign, led by ARC Oxford, the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT) and The Oxford Science Park, is calling on local businesses to lend their support in a collective effort to ensure the transport link is prioritised in regional infrastructure planning.
The campaign argues that the branch line, which has been closed for 60 years, could be sustainably, quickly and affordably restored to create two new stations in East Oxford, providing a nine-minute journey time to the city centre, and a direct service to London Marylebone running twice hourly.
The scheme is supported by Anneliese Dodds, MP for Oxford East. She said: “It’s important to deliver this project because it goes beyond just a transport measure and helps us deliver much needed housing for Oxford residents as well as creating a new expanded hub for innovation and economic growth.”
