Designs developed for the Phase 1 Transport Options public consultation

Early designs for the Eastern Corridor High Quality Public Transport (HQPT) Major Scheme have been produced to progress the scheme to this stage and to support the Eastern Corridor Major Scheme - Phase 1 public consultation undertaken in July and August 2008.

As the scheme develops we will seek to provide the most relevant and up-to-date designs here.

At this stage these early designs are to help in the development of options and to encourage you to contact us with concerns and suggestions you may have.
