    Brief

    Network Rail is seeking to undertake early development work to assess the feasibility of reinstating direct passenger rail services between Kent and Gatwick Airport. This project builds on the findings of the Kent to Gatwick Strategic Advice (2024) report by Network Rail. The work will involve conducting technical assessments, evaluating infrastructure requirements, analyzing passenger demand, reviewing operational viability, and determining implementation timelines and costs. Suppliers with expertise in rail network analysis, infrastructure planning, feasibility studies, and passenger transport solutions are encouraged to engage. The outcome will inform whether a direct rail connection between Kent and Gatwick Airport is operationally and commercially viable.
