Network rail has published the Draft Route Utilization Strategy for the East Midlands including the Norwich Liverpool route
http://www.networkrail.co.uk/
At the moment it is listed directly on the Network Rail homepage (if it gets moved off look at the RUS sections on the left-hand navigation)
Plenty to read, and lots of backup data. Of interest to several recent/recurring topics on the forum:
Norwich to Liverpool, especially overcrowding (suggested answer is more coaches...)
Rail travel in Lincolnshire (the sums don't stack up)
MML journey times (stuck with what's planned in Control Period 4, i.e. very little) and don't expect electrification
Doubtless lots more in the 140 odd pages - the neatly laid out appraisals of the options are interesting as they are the clearest insight into the thinking I've seen.
