Join us at a public meeting to cover next steps in the campaign to ensure continued access for all vehicles and pedestrians across the East West Rail route in Bicester once the London Road level crossing is permanently closed by EWR/Network Rail.
Monday 6th January 7.30pm at Langford Village Community Centre, OX26 6XX.

The long-awaited announcement from East West Rail appeared to have sealed the fate of the road crossing for vehicles at London Road in Bicester. It will close to traffic at a date yet to be set and no alternative crossing for vehicles will be built.
EWR suggests a new bridge or underpass for pedestrians and cyclists should be built near the existing London Road level crossing and is asking residents to express views on this as part of the consultation now underway and lasting into the early part of 2025.

ADDED UPDATE:
The East West Railway Company issued a short video on the London Road crossing on 12th December 2024..
Meridian TV visited our area and broadcast a report on 30th March 2023 that focused on the issues and possible solutions to keeping a route open across the East West rail line at London Road when the new train services start.
Comments were provided by the Chair of Langford Village Community Association, Carole Hetherington, Oxfordshire County Councillor Calum Miller, and a number of local residents.
If you missed Natalie Verney’s report on broadcast tv, it’s still available to watch here.

To read the document that Langford Village Community Association has submitted to the East West Rail Consultation please click here. We are making the case for the London Road route to remain open to vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists. Our residents have indicated they most prefer a new road bridge being built alongside the existing road, for use when the level crossing is permanently closed because of increased rail services.
