Welcome to the Bicester Town Local Representatives Groups page

At East West Railway Company (EWR Co), we’re passionate about hearing what local representatives, and their communities, think about East West Rail (EWR) so we can, together, successfully build a project that will bring faster journey times, lower transport costs and ease pressure on local roads. This will bring people closer to the things that matter most – jobs, friends, and family.

We’ve set up 15 Local Representatives Groups along the route where we will deliver the East West Rail project to help local communities connect with us through their representatives. The Groups include Councillors, Parish and Town Councils and representatives from EWR Co.

This is the page for the Bicester Town Group. The Group brings together all the Parishes and Councillors from Bicester Town, centred around the proposed solutions for the London Road level crossing and proposed improvements to Bicester Village Station.
