The Bedford to Cambridge section of East West Rail (EWR), including proposed new stations at Bedford St Johns, Tempsford and Cambourne, has been designated as a project of national significance. This means that an application will be made to the Secretary of State for Transport for a Development Consent Order (DCO), for consent to build and operate the new railway.
As part of the pre-application stage EWR are consulting on the proposals and the consultation will be open until 24 January 2025.
More details about the consultaion are set out on the EWR webpage.
