Petition

Connect the Aylesbury-Milton Keynes Link to the East West Rail National Network.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Commission the Department for Transport to integrate the Aylesbury-Calvert spur into the East West Rail (EWR) national network for passenger services.
The government has already spent millions on the Aylesbury Vale Parkway project. I have audited the site and the modern signaling (ME 306) and northern junctions are already active and in the ground. Leaving this as a "dead-end" stub is a massive waste of existing taxpayer investment. It is a "shovel-ready" link that is being ignored.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.
