FEBRUARY 4 saw the Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps approve Network Rail's Transport and Works Act Order application for Phase 2 of East West Railway (EWR), giving the green light for work to begin between Oxford, Bedford, Milton Keynes and Aylesbury. In a further leap forward for the multi-billion pound project, the preferred route for Phase 3 between Bedford and Cambridge has also been selected.
