As you will probably be aware, East West Rail (EWR) intends to close the London Road level crossing to vehicles without providing an alternative crossing, and to construct a bridge or underpass for pedestrians and cyclists. The first part of the new line between Oxford and Bletchley is scheduled to open later this year and EWR is expected to close the crossing before it reaches full capacity, which would in any case see the crossing closed for up to 45mins every hour. The official consultation concluded on Friday 24th January. Our local MP, Calum Miller secured a debate in the House of Commons about the matter, and we await further developments.
