Charting the progress of East West Rail (Bicester to Bletchley). Not in any way linked to or endorsed by the consortium. Just an interested by-stander.
Some images from Winslow from earlier today. Ballast (?) going down / ground being prepared between Furze Lane and Buckingham Road and noise barriers being inserted close to the site of the former Winslow station.

It would be nice if you could delete the tweet please folks. It’s Winslow on the east west line as was made abundantly clear in the original tweet and since by multiple responses. Best wishes.
Queen Catherine Road, Steeple Claydon - new over bridge - 28.08.23 and a shot from September 2022 when the route across the track was open

Facing towards Bicester today, commencement of new platform at Winslow (and embankment works)? See if you can spot the old platforms in the distance facing east.

Queen Catherine Road, Steeple Claydon - former level crossing / station site. Two photos of the new bridge, one of the embankment that will support the new route across the track and the last of the former station site.

No - was just walking past at that time and thought I’d take a photo. When you say beauty, are you referring to what was a working railway until 1993?
1) Work has started on east side of main Winslow bridge 2) West side station site 3) Initial station excavations 4) Furze Lane bridge looking west

I intend to get out at some point and take some proper photos but in the meantime here’s the beginnings of the EWR compound at Furze Lane
