EAST WEST Railway Company intends to begin a formal rolling stock procurement process in August. The company has published a Prior Information Notice marking the conclusion of a market engagement exercise which began last December. EWR is an arm’s length body of the Department for Transport which was set up to take over client responsibility for the western section of the line (Bicester/Aylesbury – Bedford/Milton Keynes) and to develop and deliver the central section (Bedford – Cambridge).
