East West Rail delay announcement
Rail operators have confirmed that the much-anticipated East West Rail line connecting Milton Keynes and Oxford will not open by the end of this year, as previously promised.
The project, valued at £100 million, was expected to significantly cut travel times between the two cities — with a planned journey time of only 42 minutes. Officials have not specified a new launch date but stated that further updates will be provided soon.
“We remain committed to completing the route and ensuring reliable service for passengers as soon as possible,” said a spokesperson for East West Rail.
The delay comes after earlier assurances that the route would be operational before Christmas, disappointing local commuters and regional authorities who viewed the project as key to improving transport connectivity in central England.
