Hopes of reopening Wisbech Rail have been revived this week after an independent study concluded that the project would be financially viable.
There have been fears that the £200 million projected cost of the project would mean that Wisbech remained cut off from the rail network for the foreseeable future.
But a draft Full Business Case (FBC) has concluded that restoring a heavy rail link between Wisbech and Cambridge would be practicable, provide value for money and be “transformative” for the town’s economic potential.
