Railfuture News Snippets 44 - 26/06/2000



CHUMMS - A14 CORRIDOR STUDY
Rail from St.Ives to Huntingdon is being investigated by multi-modal consultants

It had been feared that the CHUMMS consultants were only investigating reopening the Cambridge to St. Ives line as a branch to St.Ives only and not to join up with the ECML at Huntingdon.

Following the Railfuture public meeting in Cambridge, some members emailed GO-East to suggest including Huntingdon link in the multi-modal study. The reply from GO-East is that the full link will be included as part of the study.
