Strangely the freight bypass has, in part, recently been mentioned in
a RUS. Unfortunately not the part that would really help the NLL.

The recent freight RUS has suggested that re-
opening of the Oxford, Claydon, Bletchley line could offer a
preferable Up routeing option for Southampton container services.


This proposal in the Freight RUS has nothing to do with the London area. Its
to do avoiding with the flat crossing currently required at Nuneaton, where
trains have to cross 3 of the 4 WCML tracks on their way to Coventry,
eventually to gain the Cherwell valley route to Oxford, Reading and
Basingstoke, thence Southampton.
