Integrated Rail Plan
18/07/2019Sheffield City Region SearchResearchItemsA new 4.5-mile railway from the East Coast Main Line to Doncaster Airport, tram-train extensions and new stations are at the heart of Sheffield City Region’s Integrated Rail Plan. Although the region is likely to benefit from HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, the strategy calls for even further improvements - although none of the proposals are fully costed. Analysis suggests that should a line be built to Doncaster Airport, nine million people will be within a 90-minute rail journey of the new station. It is also expected to help create up to 16,500 new jobs at the site, and accelerate the construction of 8,500 new homes.
