The UK’s Network Rail is set to conduct a study on how to improve safety on the planned reinstated railway between Bletchley and Claydon.

Conducted as part of the East West Rail project, Swanbourne residents will be invited to attend a public consultation event on 13 August to share their views on how railway crossing safety can be improved in their area.

The consultation will cover public road and footpath crossings to the east of Winslow, heading towards Newton Longville, as well as level crossings at Weasels Lodge, Swans Way and Swanbourne stations.

"This event gives us the chance to share our initial plans with residents and invite them to give us the benefit of their local knowledge and experience."

Network Rail East West Rail project manager Charles Hurst said: "Safety on and around the railway is a top priority for us.

"The East West Rail project will open up many new journey opportunities, but we want to make sure that the reinstated sections of railway are safe for everyone to use, which is why we are undertaking this study.

The project aims to reintroduce passenger and freight services between Bedford and Oxford and between Aylesbury and Milton Keynes, whilst also linking the Great Western, West Coast and Midland mainlines.

This will provide passengers with several new journey opportunities, reduced travelling times and eliminate the need to travel through London.

Work under the project involves the reconstruction and upgrade of disused and underused sections of track and signalling between Bletchley and Claydon.
