Where will the new cycle path be located?
Following extensive consultation, it was clear that the majority of cyclists wanted the National Cycle Route 75 to closely follow its original and most direct route. Therefore, the new cycle path, where possible, will run alongside the re-opened railway line. There are parts of the route where, for safety or engineering reasons, the path moves away from the railway. When we were planning the relocation our main objectives were to: • minimise deviation from the original route • build an attractive cycle track for cyclists, walkers and other users to enjoy • minimise the impact on the environment • connect the cycle route with the stations and the communities through which it passes The Cycle Path plans can be found here.
