London Road Level Crossing Report on Meridian TV
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.

Charbridge Lane Update
The work to complete Charbridge Lane on the Bicester ring road is due to continue for a while yet. The rail track beneath the new bridge is due to start being laid in the summer.
The road is reopen to traffic and pedestrians again and the picture shows how the final realignment is planned when the work on the Langford side of the rail overbridge is complete.
East West Rail is communicating its news through Launton Parish Council and so if you’d like to read more please visit its website to see the latest post containing this information.

East West Rail Consultation 2021 – Our Response
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.
London Road crossing – the Technical Report
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.
London Road crossing – the EWR options
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).
