EWR Pop Up Events

/in /by

In our October 2025 ELRG meeting I mentioned that we would be running a series of drop in community ‘pop up’ sessions in the new year, and that I would be in touch with more information once the events were finalised. There are three sessions taking place in the eastern section of the route. Full event details are below and all pop-ups will be added to our website here:  East West Rail | Events

 

Wednesday 14 January, 11am-3pm – Cambourne: Morrisons, Broad St, Great Cambourne, CB23 6EY

Wednesday 21 January, 10am-4pm – Cambridge: Cambridge City Market (near the M&S), Market Hill, CB1 0SS

Tuesday 10 February, 10am-12pm and 1pm-4pm – Great Shelford: Great Shelford Library, 10-12 Wollards Ln, Great Shelford CB22 5LZ

 

As I mentioned at the ELRG meeting, the purpose of these sessions is to introduce people to East West Rail who may otherwise be unaware of the scheme. High-level project information will be provided, and people will be signposted to channels where they can find out more about EWR. Designs won’t be shared during these sessions and feedback won’t be explicitly recorded, although if frequently asked questions emerge we may compile these and share them with answers via the newsletter or website.

 

As the aim of the sessions is to introduce the project to the general public in areas of high footfall, we won’t be widely publicising them in advance. However, I wanted you to be aware of where we will be and when.
