Survey: East-West Rail Plans For Mid Bedfordshire

East-West Rail Survey

I am keen to hear from Mid Bedfordshire residents about the proposals set out by East-West Rail in its public consultation.

The plans include a number of different options now the Government has confirmed it will complete East-West Rail from Bedford to Cambridge.

One option would see all existing stations maintained with minor upgrades to all stations, including platform extensions, while the other would see some station closures with four new stations built in new locations and a faster, more frequent service.

You can see all the details in the latest proposals here:

While I want to hear your views so I can represent your thoughts on East-West Rail in Parliament I would also strongly encourage you to take part in East-West Rail's official consultation here:
