Isle of Wight Council awarded a contract to CEBR Ltd for consultancy support to develop a Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) and associated work for the Restoring Railways Project, focusing on the reopening of branch rail lines on the Isle of Wight.

The commission required expertise in transport planning, transport modelling, engineering, planning, economic assessment, communications, and stakeholder engagement, with previous experience in developing SOBCs for rail projects considered essential.

The SOBC evaluated options for extending the existing Island Line service south of Shanklin to Ventnor and integrating with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway to provide passenger services from Ryde to Newport.

The contract value was £44,458, with a term from 24 October 2020 to 31 May 2021 and an option to extend for a further 6 months.
