West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE) have defined their long term service targets (2034-2047) and are "Starting work now to identify radical infrastructure change beyond High Speed 2 and Midlands Rail Hub". In the NR Chiltern Route study there is only one viable 'big' idea on how to deliver that service. At the very least there needs to be another viable 'big' idea so that effective evaluation can occur - hence developing this concept and document.
Target audience is decision makers, so some technical aspects have been simplified whilst still retaining what is hoped a good degree of accuracy.

There is the West Midlands, The South Midlands and then East Anglia and better rail links between the two east-west are required to take on and alleviate roads. Bedford-Northampton would plug Bedford, Thameslink and East-West Rail into South Midlands and West Midlands via Northampton.
