EARLY plans to bring a new railway line into Cirencester are steaming ahead after a meeting with top government officials.
The capital of the Cotswolds was buzzing with excitement last week after the
Standard broke the news that new track could be laid along the line to Kemble, opening Cirencester to the national rail network for the first time since 1964.
Mayor Mark Harris and Richard and Jane Gunner, of Whiteway Farm, are forging forward with the proposal which would see an ultra-modern, eco-friendly train running the 5km from station to station.
Mayor Harris, who was elected for a second term last week, said he had been “inundated with messages of support for the vision”.
“Everyone is incredibly excited about the prospect of reopening the Kemble to Cirencester railway line,” he said.
