East West Rail to hold community event in Lidlington

Back to Latest stories

We are holding a community event in Lidlington on Saturday 7 November to update local residents on the latest progress with the project.  

The event will give residents the opportunity to speak directly to members of the project team about progress on the Marston Vale Line, including works already underway in preparation for the railway.

Taking place at Lidlington Village Hall, High Street, Bedfordshire, from 11am to 3pm, the event will showcase the latest designs for the railway in the local area and provide updates ahead of the planned Development Consent Order (DCO) application in 2027.  

Residents will also be able to find out more about proposed improvements to station facilities and local road connections in the area, as well as the accelerated construction programme for the Marston Vale Line.  

Natalie Wheble, External Affairs Director at EWR Co, said: “We’re looking forward to meeting people in Lidlington and updating them on the progress the team has made over the past few months."
