Campaigners call for pause to East West plans for Bedford rail link

Campaigners are calling for the East West rail plans to be paused so an independent review can be carried out.

BFARe along with Cambridge Approaches and Protect Poets campaign groups have re submitted a new petition after last year's one was cancelled following the general election.

In a statement, the campaigners said: "We do not want the Bedford to Cambridge section of the Oxford to Cambridge Rail Link as described by East West Rail Co's Route Update Announcement and subsequent refinements including in the 2024 Non Statutory Consultation.

"We call for plans to be paused for a full transparent and independent review. Please join us and protect our town, villages and countryside.”
