    The document summarizes revisions to the proposed fast-track rail route between London and Birmingham. It will extend an existing green tunnel by 10 miles to further reduce noise impacts. A continuous £500 million tunnel will replace two shorter proposed tunnels to better protect the Chilterns landscape. The route will also curve to avoid historical sites near Edgcote and will deepen an existing green tunnel around Wendover and South Heath to further reduce noise for local residents. A new 2.75-mile tunnel in west London will also reduce impacts to homes around Ruislip.
