Those Who Know have repeatedly stated that despite rammed roads, poor

Not Happen until someone can get enough money together to convince the
DfT that the restoration of the route is viable.

The truth is that a comprehensive survey was commissioned by a rail
industry consortium to establish whether the Oxford-Cambridge route
would be viable. The report showed it wouldn't be, not by a long way.
It wasn't even a marginal case. The consortium that commissioned and
supported the study was disbanded soon after the report was completed.

That should have drawn a line, ending any further speculation about
Oxford-Cambridge. But no. It keeps cropping up on here, time and
time (and time) again. And again.

Oxford-Cambridge is dead and buried. Just forget it.
