COMING SOON · EAST WEST RAIL · OXFORD → MILTON KEYNES → BEDFORD → CAMBRIDGE
A new rail channel is coming

Where East
Meets West.

East West Junction will be a YouTube channel following the story of East West Rail — the plans, places, trains, construction, politics, engineering and the people along the route.

The journey

Oxford Bletchley Bedford Cambridge

A railway project with a story stretching far beyond the track itself.

About the channel

Not just another railway channel.

East West Junction is being created to give the East West Rail project a dedicated place for video, analysis, on-the-ground reporting and railway discussion.

From existing services and stations to proposed new infrastructure, we'll follow the project as it develops — explaining what is happening, why it matters and what it could mean for passengers and communities.

What we'll cover

The railway. The route. The story.

🚆

Trains & operations

Rolling stock, services, stations, timetables, operating arrangements and the practical reality of running the railway.

🛠️

Construction & engineering

Follow the work on the ground, from upgrades and new infrastructure to the proposed Bedford–Cambridge section.

📍

The route & communities

Explore the towns, villages and stations along the corridor — and the changes a new east-west connection could bring.

East West Rail today

A project still taking shape.

The current proposals connect Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge, with a new railway proposed between Bedford and Cambridge and upgrades to existing railway sections.
