Subject: Network Rail - Ely Area Capacity Enhancement (EACE) Round 2 Consultation: Confirmation of receipt of your feedback
OFFICIAL
Network Rail: Ely Area Capacity Enhancement (EACE) - Public Consultation Round 2.
I am writing to you on behalf of Network Rail to thank you for responding to the EACE public consultation, which ran from Monday 24 May – Sunday 4 July 2021. This note confirms receipt of your comments as part of the public consultation process.
We have received a tremendous response from the public and our statutory consultees on the proposals and options presented for the Ely South area. As you know, the EACE programme is a strategically important rail programme that is investigating the feasibility of increasing rail capacity through Ely for passenger and freight services. Your feedback during these early stages of the design and development process is important to help us to understand the views of the wider community on our proposals, and help us make informed decisions going forward.
The feedback from the public consultation is currently going through review and analysis to pull out the key themes from the comments we received over the six week period. A detailed summary of the results of the consultation will be included as part of the final consultation round being planned in 2022 (subject to securing further funding) which will focus on the preferred options selected to take forward to the consent application stage. The Round 2 consultation materials remain available to view by visiting

Next Steps
A public consultation round is now being planned for later this year, which will focus on proposals and options for Ely North Junction, the level crossings at Queen Adelaide, as well as other level crossings across the wider programme area. We will be making an announcement in due course about the dates of this consultation, which will be published on our project webpage
www.networkrail.co.uk/Ely together with the latest information on how the development of the programme is progressing.
