First passenger train over the East West line carrying passengers (stakeholders and VIPs) operated today from South Marston Euro Terminal to Milton Keynes Central, hauled by 47746 with 47848 at the rear.
Weather was dire, it was trying to snow!
No news of an opening date yet.

Why Aylesbury Spur WILL be built - hear about the history of East West Rail from Philip Marsh, who was on the last train out of Winslow in the 1990s and who has been documenting the line’s history ever since. 👇

And the 168s were quickly followed by 800005 on a gauging run from Paddington to Bletchley High Level. I understand this is part of preparations for diversions to Euston

First passenger train over the new East West line, 168328/323. A small step nearer to opening. @RailwayMagazine @railexpress Location is Clayton, with HS2 construction in background. Unit coming over HS2 bridge.

👆New bridge OXD34A replaced Launton level crossing. An adjacent field was a temporary work compound. Now no trace left. Looking west Bicester now little trace of intrusive earthworks. Much replanting undertaken. @PaulMBigland @Greens4HS2 @claycon @CharlesworthD @LordPeterHendy

1 of 2 @bicester81 @RobLawrence @eastwestrail Launton to Marsh Gibbon has changed a little...spot the difference over 1000 days! Lots of vegetation planting post construction work. Must be a candidate for a #railway200 event next year surely? @networkrail @chilternrailway 👇

Launton level crossing was replaced with a bridge. This dangerous bendy hilly road is now far safer thanks to the EWR project. @VolkerRailUK @Laing_ORourke @atkinsrealis @networkrail @RobLawrence @NHollinghurst @ProgressEast @bicesternews @PaulCliftonBBC
