I did look at the local plan, too much to wade through, glad it mentions B2N and we can say to responses to it M2MH should be kept under review as a strategic link via MK and Northampton with the East Midlands and vice versa.
On Northampton-Wellingborough, we don't support it notwithstanding seeing a proper evaluative engineering (practicals) of how it links with the slow lines east side of MML? EEH have a study supporting Northampton-Peterborough:
Long docs are not my forte, I have not got it in me unless clear sections on rail or I get referenced pages to look at.
What I can offer as a strategic passer on, is to encourage responses to it via email. I cc Simon Barber to that end who does a good job on such responses. Thank you.
