• Abstract:
  This document, as its title states, is an Options Report for the entire corridor. Until now, portions of ; the corridor have been analyzed separately, and improvement strategies developed for distinct ; segments. This report presents an overview of the whole corridor for the first time. It necessarily ; reflects the fact that the required improvements in some sectors of the corridor are understood ; better than in others, and that near-term improvement needs are understood better than long-term ; needs. In particular, the specific infrastructure improvements, and their estimated costs, can be ; expected to change as the environmental and commercial impacts are better understood. As the analysis ; progresses, the final version of the Options Report will evolve to include a better match between ; cost-effective investment in railway infrastructure, and the service requirements of the passenger ; and freight users.
