Plans for the UK’s first self-funded rail link in more than a century have been submitted to the Department for Transport.
According to its promoters, the Windsor Link Railway is relying on a funding model last seen during the Victorian heyday of the railway industry, when private investors paid for a project and reaped the profits.
The proposals entail connecting the South Western rail link running out of Waterloo to the Great Western line from Paddington to South Wales.
