Abstract	The Cockcroft Beamline is being designed to transport 1 GeV laser wakefield accelerated (LWFA) electrons to a pair of planar undulators at the Scottish Centre for the Ap- plication of Plasma-based Accelerators (SCAPA) in Glas- gow, UK. In order to demonstrate undulator radiation in the X-ray region and potentially free-electron laser (FEL) gain, a good beam transport solution is required between the LWFA source and the undulators. In this paper we present an adjustable beam transport line that will allow the LWFA electrons to be matched into the undulators for a range of working energies from 0.5 to 1 GeV.
