Western Section
The western section will link Oxford and Aylesbury to Milton Keynes and Bedford with connections to the West Coast Main Line and the Midland Main Line. It will use the Oxford to Bicester Line, a renovated section of the Varsity Line from Bicester to Bletchley, and finally the Marston Vale Line from Bletchey to Bedford. The existing Cherwell Valley Line will be used to link to the Great Western Main Line at Didcot Parkway railway station. A new passenger service to Aylesbury might be created using a freight-only section of the Great Central Main Line from Aylesbury Vale station connecting to the Marston Vale Line at Calvert, near Claydon. The project is being developed by the Milton Keynes Partnership and Chiltern Railways.

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or section:
“When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Personally I think we’re over-specialized. Why it’s getting so we have experts who concentrate only on the lower section of a specimen’s left ear.”
—Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Clete Ferguson (John Agar)
