The Eastern section (Cambridge to Norwich) already exists. From anywhere on (or beyond) the Eastern section to anywhere else at all, that can't already by done by a sensible alternative. There is obvious potential for Oxford and Aylesbury to MK services and as there are already established customers for the local stations west of Bedford opening up more destinations for these travelers could be advantageous. But East of Bedford it's a complete white elephant. East of Bedford is still part of the Central section. but it is the complete new build part, albeit on a closed track bed, No it's not. so which part of Bedford (St John's) to Sandy has track in situ then Are you completely incapable of looking at the plans for yourself? And how come suddenly "closed track bed" turns into "track in situ". and therefore has to meet new higher standards at road intersections (if there are any) So would a track on either a closed track bed The point is that West of Bletchley is not "closed" - technically anyway. I thought we were discussing east of Bedford. (which it's not) or a new track bed (which it is). so your argument is that it's on a new alignment See "new alignment" vs "closed track bed". still doesn't negate my point that East of Bedford is the completely new build, On "closed track bed", or something else? West of Bedford is existing track I thought we were discussing east of Bedford. -- Roland Perry |
