More Good News for East West Rail as Government Report Backs Bedford – Cambridge Link

Mayor Dave Hodgson has welcomed the government's support for the principle of the central section of the East West Rail link, from Bedford to Cambridge. The East West Rail Consortium, which comprises local authorities on the proposed route including Bedford Borough Council, has already commissioned a study into the economic benefits of the extension of the line, which will be operational between Reading and Bedford in 2017 following final approval by government and funding commitments by both government and local authorities this year. Now, the government has confirmed that it is developing proposals for the construction of the line between Bedford and Cambridge, and will be working alongside local authorities on the plans.

New Bus Station for Bedford - Building Works to Commence on Monday

Works to demolish Bedford Bus Station begin on Monday 27th January. The works are part of the much-anticipated regeneration project which will see a brand new bus station built and opened later this year, bringing to an end decades of disappointment at the way this current gateway to Bedford lets the town down. Bedford Borough Council is working with bus operators to minimise disruption during the period of construction of the brand new Bedford Bus Station, and is making information available as widely as possible prior to its commencement on Monday 27th January. Tomorrow, 22nd January, sees the second of two bus station information road shows in Church Square, from 9.30am to 3.30pm, while details of the project and the interim arrangements during construction are available online at www.bedford.gov.uk/busstation.
