Dear Editor,
Why on earth is the [East West Rail] route through Bedford Station still being considered?

If they intend to increase Wixam Station to four platforms, why not five or six and route the EWR through there?
There is little enough parking at Bedford Station now, without increasing this for EWR travellers.
An enormous car park could be built out there with several multi-storey car parks. This would relieve all the problems we would have at Bedford Station.
Imagine all the disruption it will cause, realigning the station, altering the bridges, altering St John’s.
Parking at the hospital is horrendous now. You only have to drive over St John’s Bridge to see the problem. Where will all those cars go? A massive multi-storey in Prebend Street?
In the meantime, whilst it’s being built and the new St. John’s station is being built, where do they go?
Just wondering.
