Cambridgeshire and Suffolk county councils are this month holding studies along the A1307 corridor between Cambridge and Haverhill to better understand traffic along the route. Improving links between Cambridge and Haverhill along the A1307 has been identified as key for economic growth by the area’s two county councils and local enterprise partnerships - New Anglia and Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough.

Railfuture East Anglia supports the aspiration to reopen the railway from Haverhill to a junction at Shelford enabling a fast train service from Haverhill to Cambridge and Cambridge Science Park to operate.
