Certainly great news for all those northerners who’ll soon be settling in the southern cities…
Presumably the two million new homes (1m for Ox, 1m for Cam) will be built stretched out along this railway, which can then be referred to as a “corridor”.
They’re going to be narrow. Say it’s 90 miles Ox to Cam by rail (apparently its 66 miles as crow flies) then I think each house can only be 9 inches wide!
If you had roads on both sides of the railway track with houses on both sides of the road, would that bump it up to houses three feet wide, or have you already factored this into your calculation?
You could put them on very thin but superstrong stilts….
