FINAL TOUCHES TO WHITEMOOR PLANS

Region & Route:: | Southern

Network Rail is dotting the I’s and crossing the t’s on its planning application for the development of the old marshalling yard at March. Peter Heubeck, Project Director said: “We are in the final stages of the planning application submission. The environmental survey has been completed, public consultation documentation has been collated and the site plan finalised. It is exciting to be so close to handing the document over to Cambridgeshire County Council.” Network Rail’s planning submission for an engineering distribution centre will be submitted to Cambridgeshire County Council who will be considering the application. A summary of the document will be available on the council’s website in due course.

About Network Rail

We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.

Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
