BicesterBUG

We see cycling as a key part of the Bicester life. Local travel to work, shops, school and for fun has the potential to be done safely and easily by bike in our town.

We work to improve the profile of cycling as a mode of transport and work with local government to improve the infrastructure provision to enable safe cycling for all no matter age or background.

How do you solve a problem like London Road?

The London Road level crossing in Bicester is on its way to be closed most of the time when the next phase of East West Rail (EWR) from Bicester to Bletchley and beyond becomes active.  The company responsible for the development of the line therefore wants to find alternatives to the level crossing.  So far EWR have considered a number of options, only one of which focuses on pedestrians, cyclists, mobility scooters and all the other plethora of non motorised traffic that crosses the railway at present. The sole option proposed for pedestrians and cyclists is a footbridge like that next to Garth Park (pictured below)
