Transport and Communications

East Cambridgeshire benefits from first class communication links and is ideally located for access to London, the Midlands and by air, rail and sea to Europe. 

Uniquely situated, the area is well served along the M11-A14-A11 corridor to link businesses to London-Cambridge-Newmarket-Norwich.

Ely railway station is well served to link businesses to the UK's major centres and most of the UK's main road distribution routes run through the region including: 

• M25 London Orbital motorway
• A1 London-Newcastle motorway
• M11 London-Cambridge motorway
• M1 London-Birmingham motorway
• A14 dual carriageway that links Felixstowe to the M6 and the North.

Stansted, the third largest airport in the UK, can be reached in just 45 minutes from Ely. The seven major seaports located in the East of England are within easy reach including the UK's largest container port at Felixstowe handling approximately 40% of the UK's container trade.
