East West Rail reconfirmed in the Budget
16 Mar 2023
The Chancellor has again reconfirmed the government's plans for the East West Railway. What is unacceptable is that he has revealed that there will be no news for residents for around another two months.
As we have always made clear, we do not support the six-track proposal that requires the demolitions of homes north of Bedford Midland Station and this further delay just continues the uncertainty for these residents even further.
When it is eventually announced we will be looking for a proposal from the Rail Minister that removes the six-track proposal and is electric powered from day one.
