Make the most of the East West Rail opportunity with our expert legal advice and support for landowners and developers across every stage.
Construction is underway on the new East West Rail route connecting Oxford and Cambridge. The line will serve key locations including Cambourne, Tempsford, Bedford, Bletchley, Winslow and Bicester. With up to four trains per hour, it aims to bring hundreds of thousands of people within commuting distance of Cambridge and support the growth of the region’s thriving tech and bioscience industries.
The project will unlock major development potential, with up to 18 new towns planned along the line. For developers, landowners and investors, the East West Rail link presents significant opportunities in housing, infrastructure and commercial development. Tees is here to help you navigate this evolving landscape and secure long-term value.
