As far as I remember, they wanted to send goods trains via the east
london thames crossing, and a new rail link (or, more accurately, the
resurrection of an old one) going from oxford to cambridge.

Hollow laugh There has never been any central government support for
re-opening Cambridge to Oxford and the consortium of local authorities
has only ever promoted a passenger-only scheme. Not that Cambridge to
Oxford ever had much through freight even before it closed in 1968.

There is the route from Felixstowe via Peterborough and Nuneaton which is
receiving government support, though.
