Interestingly, it also says that DEFRA have commissioned a studies (not
that that means anything useful) into the East-West rail link between
Oxford and Cambridge via Bletchley and Bedford, as part of an
investigation into supporting the new Milton Keynes & South Midlands
housing plans around Milton Keynes.

Would this be the same Oxford-Cambridge rail link via Bedford that was
dug up 40-something years ago?
