East West Rail Plan For 900 Bedford Parking Spaces

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

Plans for 900 new parking spaces across three car parks in Bedford have been proposed as part of the East West Rail (EWR) project

These two paragraphs add more detail.

East West Rail Company (EWR Co) said 70% of the spaces would be to the east of Bedford station in a six-storey car park and a surface car park, both on Ashburnham Road.

The remaining spaces would be in a car park off Ford End Road.

My first reaction is borrowed from the incomparable John McEnroe and is “You cannot be serious!”, as why would the East West Rail Company need car parks, when they aren’t running trains, due to union opposition.

But the BBC article does have an, impressionist-style visualisation of the car park.

Will the actual car park be as tasteful.
