Please engage with this: https://www.bedford.gov.
and remember BRTA's calls, principally:
1. East-West Rail via St John's with reinstated triangle going east of Bedford and physical linkages with the East Coast Main Line (ECML) at Tempsford.
2. Bedford-Northampton new-build routing to enable Birmingham-Rugby-Northampton corridor to access directly Bedford (35 minutes) and the new Wixams for Universal main line station
3. Stations North of Bedford at Oakley and Sharnbrook
4. Local new rail passenger service to Oxford, now, not just 2031
5. New local shuttle passenger service between Bedford and Leicester and electrification finished to Nottingham, Sheffield and beyond.
6. New local station at the Retail Park Kempston, putting Kempston Town on the rail map and Oxford corridor for inwards footfall and outwards more opportunities.
7. Better buses linking with Bedford Midland Railway Station on a regular day-time basis as part of their over all journeys.
8. Bedford Midland Station Rebuild with more platforms, tracks, capacity, new train shed looking down Midland Road to the town centre and retail, toilet and better fronting facilities, more variety and a local community hub-resource, not solar focus hub for commuting.
Please support these things in your responses to the Local Transport Plan.
