As part of the East West Railway project, the part of Bletchley Flyover crossing the West Coast Mainline tracks is being renewed. It was built in 1959 as part of BR's freight plan to take freight trains clear of London to a large new marshalling yard at Swanbourne which never came to fruition. It has lain little used for many years and needs upgrading to modern construction standards so that it can be used for the new high speed trains between Milton Keynes, Oxford and London Marylebone.
