Consultation description

East West Railway Company is undertaking a non-statutory consultation on proposals for a new rail link to connect communities between Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge.

Proposals include construction of a new railway between Bedford and Cambridge, plus essential railway improvement works to upgrade the existing railway between Oxford and Bedford. 

The company is seeking views on these proposals and designs including areas where they are considering options.

This is the third non-statutory consultation on East West Rail and will be followed by a statutory consultation ahead of submission of a development consent order application which will seek the necessary consent for the scheme.

The Secretary of State for Transport has issued safeguarding directions for East West Rail.
