I don't disagree - but that is why there will need to be proper access off an improved A421. Peopel just aren't going to visit the park via the centre of Bedford. To do so from anywhere but the local area makes no sense. The M1 & A1 links via the A421 are critical. As an aside I do think...

other than it being expensive, run down, lacking a decent selection of products, having an "interesting clientele and being at a generally grotty station where not much happens it is totally fine!

Bands 5 – 8, general grades and controllers.

Honestly it is a fairly normal main route into town with fairly normal into town traffic. It is nothing special. Ampthill Road (A5141) is a standard 2 lane town road running thorough an area of housing and business with an added bus lane on one side. It is a standard road running from the town...

Agree - Build Wixhams now and sort out the new platform later .I would rather do that than try and find the money for the whole station later. Close Kempston Harwick and rebuild to a better location to serve the park. We might even get a Marston Vale line improvement out of this! Universal...

it sells ale? It only ever seems to have cooking lager available for a resistible price!

Does that "go"? I second the class 17. An interesting beastie! 1713444754 class 28 surely? Is that not at ELR with the aforementioned class 15?

Double red lines: No stopping/parking or loading/unloading at any time (whereas double yellow permit loading and blue badge parking? )

Turned at Gascoigne Wood?

Does this Menzies not have a bit of a colourful past involving allegations he associated with a male Brazilian sex worker?

Crewe station is grotty full stop - the cafe is just a symptom. Use the new side entrance and walk to Greggs,

26 Mp's have a similar status

thanks - and the steamer went onto the train at crewe?

Were there some issues with this tour yesterday? Was there a loco swap?

it was ( i think) but i would have preferred Cooper and she would have been my second choice.
