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.
