A plan has been launched to help residents in the north of the county deal with the disruption that has been caused by the current East West Rail works. The ongoing development aims to deliver passengers from Oxford (Oxfordshire) to Great Yarmouth (Norfolk), with the line expecting to go through Buckinghamshire. Areas within the county such as Milton Keynes, Woburn Sands, Bow Brickhill, Fenny Stratford, Bletchley, Winslow, and Aylesbury will have the train going through its railway stations, as part of the new line. Aylesbury Train Station is part of the new EWR (pictured in July 2018) However, the multi-million-pound project has caused several locations to complain regarding the works.

New stations will be built at Winslow and enhancements made to existing stations along the route, including at Bletchley. The works will be carried out by the East West Rail Alliance, a group formed in 2015 by Network Rail, Laing O’Rourke, Atkins and Volker Rail.
