This news story may be of some interest. Our predecessor organisation with RDS and others fought a hard fight to try and get the tracks reopened - they were still dormant - but the Cambs Authorities u-turned from 1992 supporting of the rail option to Guided Busway and here's the result! Those buses could be redeployed elsewhere like the lack of links other than Cambridge Cambourne has for example.
Our meetings and fixture continue, please try and support them if you will, they are good networking opportunities.
We need donated books and magazines for our stalls, if you wish to donate please email me back. Thank you.

We continue to fight the good fight for an East-West Rail Link which serves Bedford via St John's and Bedford Midland Stations, not bypasses the town centre as some have argued! People won't drive and park and ride to go to Cambridge when they would be half way there by the time they boarded a train if it lands at Wixams. Likewise an Oxford-Bedford rail link must link to Bedford-Cambridge for a fully integrated east-west rail link. Yet we have yet to see a diagram with east-north curves into Bedford and the Midland Main Line North via St John's or Wixams, so ruling out freight unless it is implemented.
Here's the news story... in a time of for some of us 'austerity'!
