Earlier today the government announced a preferred route on East West Rail, which reopens the rail link between Oxford and Cambridge. The government has chosen Route E, the route recommended by the East West Rail Consortium, which connects Bedford Midland to Cambridge with a new station between Sandy and St Neots and another at Cambourne.
I am pleased that the government has made this announcement to progress investment in this important rail link.
Key decisions remain around the location of the new station between Sandy and St Neots and any implications for the existing station in Sandy and I will consult locally on this issue over the coming weeks.
