Join us in fighting the East West Railways (EWR) 6 track proposal and the potential demolition of homes and great impact on our tight-knit community

"Chiltern Railways has quietly scrapped its plans to introduce hybrid trains" NB. Chiltern Railway will operate the first stage of East West Rail services between Oxford and Milton Keynes via Bletchley when the route opens between December 2024 and 2025

Thank you

@feedthedrummer So what about those of us who are liturally NIMBY’s as it will be for some or in fact NTMH (not through my home)? Surely you can see that this is not the best route at all.

Yesterday I spoke in a Westminster Hall debate about the recent East West Rail announcement on route alignment.

You can read my full contribution below but I did want to share the video of my intervention with you, which I think is very revealing.

@ZachElsbury @HuwMerriman What about those fighting to save their homes from demolition. Are we selfish NIMBYs?!

“It’s appalling that both HS2 & EWR continue to act with contempt while we all suffer every day in the face of constant construction noise & vibration,ruined roads,rogue contractors & the overall destruction of the countryside,”says Buckingham MP ⁦@gregsmith_uk⁩ 👇

@protectpoets please view this video from @eastwestrail meeting North Bedfordshire councillors. https://t.co/bZbYBGDV6b This highlights so many failings on EWRs part, lack of transparency, zero back-checking.
