The East West Rail Company are consulting on their infrastructure proposals for East West Rail – the new rail link that would connect communities between Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge. Their proposals involve the construction of a new railway between Bedford and Cambridge, plus essential railway improvement works to upgrade the existing railway between Oxford and Bedford.
The purpose of this non-statutory consultation is to obtain feedback on the early designs, including areas where we are considering options. They will take this feedback into account as they develop the designs in more detail and select preferred options. Your feedback will also be used to review potential opportunities and inform plans to mitigate the impacts of the project.
This consultation will run for 10 weeks from 14 November 2024 to 24 January 2025. A Link to the consultation documents and further information follows.
