Businesses are overwhelmingly in favour of upgrading east-west rail links between Leicester & Nottingham and Coventry, according to an industry survey.
Transport group Midlands Connect said more than 100 companies – who between them employ 32,600 people –answered its questions on the state of connections between the cities.
It said some 93 per cent said they and their workforce would benefit from Coventry, Leicester and Nottingham being better connected, with even more saying it could support the Government’s Levelling Up agenda.
