England’s Economic Heartland is the strategic partnership of local authorities and sub-national transport body for the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor. Stretching from Swindon and Oxfordshire across to Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, we’re at the forefront of boosting connectivity to unlock our region’s unique potential, improve people’s lives and support environmental ambitions.
We’re working to ensure East West Rail is integrated into the wider transport system, ensuring as many people as possible can access stations, while also considering how it can boost tourism and access to green spaces.
EEH’s work on bus has earned us recognition from DfT. We’re developing plans for a Heartbeat regional bus network, while supporting partners identify opportunities to improve services and advocate for additional funding. Our latest report details the economic value of bus travel in the region.
By utilising delivery of East West Rail (including the Aylesbury-Milton Keynes link) and HS2, there is an opportunity to create a corridor better linking the towns and cities running down the central spine of our region, while also improving access to Heathrow Airport.
