The final section of track has now been laid between Bicester and Bletchley.
Once up and running, the new service will provide a fast and sustainable transport option for local communities – improving connectivity, significantly reducing travel times and providing better access to jobs, healthcare and education.
This is a significant milestone for one of the country’s most important rail projects and part of this Government’s plan to invest in rail infrastructure." said Huw Merriman, Rail Minister.
East West Rail Alliance (EWRA) began track construction in November 2021, following the completion of earthworks and the partial rebuild of Bletchley Flyover which enabled engineering trains to enter the site from the eastern and western fringes of the project.
