The transport model used by AECOM is fundamentally flawed because the model has not been
validated/ calibrated (particularly with respect to public transport), a strategic model has been used
incorrectly and the data has not been tested. AECOM have significantly undervalued the number of
vehicle trips. Dennybrook is too far from the proposed new E-W rail station to cause such a
significant reduction in car use. Therefore if a new settlement is required it should
be at Little Barford. Alternatively Twinwoods with a guided busway or parkway
station.
