Midlands Connect to update business case for Coventry-Leicester rail link

General News
Updated:

Midlands Connect is revising its strategic outline business case (SOBC) for reinstating a direct rail service between Coventry and Leicester. Currently, passengers must transfer at Nuneaton, adding time and complexity to the journey.

The updated business case will be presented at an event on February 28 at the Coventry Transport Museum, where political representatives and business leaders will discuss the economic and connectivity benefits of restoring the link. Speakers include Coventry East MP Mary Creagh, Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber CEO Corin Crane, and East Midlands Chamber policy director Richard Blackmore.
