Representation Summary:
• The proposed East West Rail line that you have fully supported, on a route through the centre of Bedford and then out through the unspoiled Bedfordshire villages and countryside, is the wrong choice. We reject the route and are appalled at the secretive methods that BBC used to consort with EWR in order to support this ridiculous project. The Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps, has said that Stages 2 and 3 should be scrapped. We stand with him on this.
