Reinstatement of the Stratford-Honeybourne railway would act as a regeneration tool and benefit Stratford Town Centres economy in a post pandemic era. Previous rail studies have demonstrated that Stratford only attracts 6% of tourists by rail compared to 13% for similar centres. On the basis of the 3.5m visitors pa, this equates to 210,000 visitors a year to Stratford, that are lost to rail. The hotel developers of the former Debenhams store, Stratford High Street, have indicated that the lack of attractive rail services to Stratford, particularly London, has had a negative impact on attracting inward investment.
