What’s involved in building a new road layout?
The East West Rail Company has already looked in some detail at the challenges of providing an alternative route for vehicles when, as seems likely, the London Road level crossing is closed because of safety linked to the new rail services to Milton Keynes and Cambridge.
We’ve extracted the pages of information from the Consultation Technical Report so that the details are easy to find. The pages can be viewed if you click here.
You can submit your thoughts to the Consultation here. Closing date is June 9th 2021.
View the alternatives for the probable permanent closure of the level crossing.
The East West Rail project has published details of 6 options that it is considering for the resolution of the issues at London Road level crossing in Bicester. Each option involves closing the existing level crossing because it says there are safety concerns linked to the crossing being closed for up to 50 minutes in each hour when the new rail services begin (probably in 2025).

The Hall remains closed, however we hope users will be able to return soon in line with the Government’s Step Plan, as follows :-
We are awaiting further guidance before confirming the steps for other Regular User Groups, and will contact group leaders individually.

The Hall will reopen from Thursday 3rd December for our regular user groups that wish to return and who’re permitted to run activities under the Covid-19 rules and restrictions. Please contact your group organiser if you’re unsure whether or not your activities are resuming or allowed.
