[edit] Grand Union Canal branch
There is a proposal to create a new new branch of the Grand Union Canal between Milton Keynes and Bedford. The terrain is broadly favourable for most of the route, but Brogborough Hill creates a formidable obstacle. Options being considered include a tunnel under the hill or a Falkirk Wheel to go over it.
