#chiltern — Public Fediverse posts

The mild #Autumn has ended here in the #Chiltern hills of SE England, with a sharp drop in temperature today.

I think this is my latest ever #harvest

#Chiltern Railways has been named the operator for the first stage of East West Rail, set to launch later this year, connecting #Oxford and Milton Keynes. This new service will slash journey times, providing better access to jobs, education, and business opportunities. The project aims to drive economic growth in the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor, with East West Rail projected to generate £6.7 billion annually by 2050 and support 28,000 jobs in #Cambridge. The line will also feature a new station at #Winslow and improved services at #Bicester Village and #Bletchley. The development will enhance local economies, reduce road travel, and contribute to the regeneration of town centres. Future stages will extend the line to Bedford and #Cambridge, with plans for greener, hybrid battery-electric trains.
