. . . a suggestion was made that the line between Bedford
and Cambridge might also be rebuilt. I've been told that part
of the right-of-way was lost decades ago when new buildings
were constructed across the trackbed.

Is this feasible? Does the Minister know something nobody
else knows?

It's often been discussed here and in the railway press -- have you missed
them all? Perhaps the minister just knows more than you do?

It clearly won't follow the old route, and there are various ideas for what
new alignment should be used.
