Appointment forms part of larger £4.5m initiative to reopen the Cowley Branch Line to passengers

5th Studio has received a new commission from Oxford City Council for the creation of an Infrastructure Place Study concerning the reopening of Oxford’s Cowley Branch Line.

The purpose of the study is to ensure that the rail scheme contributes to the creation and improvement of the neighborhoods around the two new stations.

Part of a larger £4.5 million initiative, the commission is part of the broader effort to reopen the Cowley Branch Line for passengers. Presently, the Cowley Branch Line is exclusively used for freight services to BMW’s Cowley manufacturing plant.
