Further discussions on level crossing re East West Rail

Posted on by nicolarr

As plans to progress for the Bedford Bletchley train line to become a limited stops train line Bedford to Oxford consultation continues on the management of the existing car and pedestrian crossings. If you do currently cross the railway line and are used to very few and fairly short delays, you may want to attend the next round of consultations as indications are that the crossing will be closed more frequently and for longer periods.

The next phase of public meetings and consultation will cover the 33 crossings between Bedford and Bletchley. No decisions have been made regarding these crossings, so this is an ideal time for local residents and communities to understand initial proposals and have input into how these proposals are developed further.

This series of meetings is a forerunner to formal consultation required as part of the statutory process to obtain any necessary authorisation for the railway through a Transport and Works Act order.
