Dame Andrea Leadsom MP has written to the Prime Minister asking him to consider an 'International Silverstone' train station
The Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire has called for the construction of “Silverstone International”, a train station at the High Speed 2 compound off the A43 north of Brackley. Dame Andrea Leadsom MP has written to the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Transport and West Northamptonshire Council, to ask them to consider the proposal.
The plans have been controversial, with the line cutting through woodland, rivers and even resident’s homes. The route of Phase One was planned to pass through West Northamptonshire for almost thirteen miles. “Such has been the scale of unnecessary disruption to residents in South Northamptonshire, that many are calling for a dividend for our area by way of compensation. Specifically, residents are calling for a new “Silverstone International” railway station to be built on the site of the enormous HS2 construction compound just off the A43, north of Brackley.
