This line should be put back into use back to bletchley, what HS 2 has done to the trackbed is a disgrace and why isn't it in the government finances to put it back into use,
The amount of land taken by HS2 around the Calvert area is ridiculous even allowing for the junction with East West Rail and a depot. The whole area has been ruined when a good deal of the old Great Central trackbed could have been used for far less cost and disruption.

Not much needs to be done to the Marston vale line - just double track the bit near bletchley then sort out the debarcle of a junction at Bedford. It's already a working railway so surely it would have made more sense to link Aylesbury to Winslow? Imagine living in Aylesbury and needing a stinky car to go to bletchley or Milton Keynes. Tories always were the pro road and pro car party.

Priceless footage - Claydon now wiped off the face of the earth by HS2.
Yet they tell us the PW remains for possible reopening to link Aylesbury with EWR.
Very shortsighted if they don't:/
