This corridor focuses on the strategic movements along the M4, M32, M48 & A4 and the Great Western and South Wales mainlines.
Multi-modal corridors
A strategic travel corridor links important and significant destinations such as major urban areas or international ports.
Four new Strategic Partnership Groups have been formed to provide oversight and support to the production of a long-term strategic transport plan, each representing one of the four strategic travel corridors identified across the geography of the Western Gateway STB area:
- Midlands to South West
- Midlands to the South Coast
- South East to South West
- South East to South Wales
Each Strategic Partnership Group will oversee the production of a multi-modal corridor plan which, once completed, will form part of the Western Gateway’s long-term Strategic Transport Plan. The aim is to agree the plan by March 2023.
Each travel corridor will be considered as a whole and will benefit from working in partnership with stakeholders outside the Western Gateway area.
