East West Railway Consultation – Closes 24th Jan

The East West Railway (EWR) would connect communities between Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge, supporting sustainable economic growth in the area. The new railway would make it easier to reach jobs, education, public services and days out with family and friends. In our consultation, we are looking to get feedback on the early designs, including on areas where we’re considering options. We’ll take this feedback into account as we 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.
The consultation will run for 10 weeks, from 14 November 2024 to 24 January 2025, and EWR are committed to making sure that everyone can take part. They recognise that key stakeholders and community leaders like yourself have a deep knowledge of your communities and are best positioned to help them reach them, especially those who might not have heard about the project or have not taken part in a consultation before.
