According to letters from the Department of Transport to the local conservative MPs Anthony Browne and Richard Fuller in Bedfordshire, the new Rail Minister is reviewing the business case for the EWR between Bletchley and Cambridge. They expect to report on their findings in June. These MPs are setting the expectation that the railway will be cancelled; this is based on information that they have not disclosed, but Anthony Browne has also met Grant Shapps. Their interaction with the rail minister has been facilitated by the activities of Cambridge Approaches and BFARe (which is an acronym for Bedford for a Re Consultation).
Meanwhile the rail minister and EWR Co. are indicating that the project is full steam ahead. EWR Co. are arranging a series of public meetings starting in Bedford and working towards Cambridge. They do not expect new information to be released at these meetings. A recent strategy report issued by Network Rail in March assessed how well the railway performs against the road network at peak times. Read more
