Hello chaps,
I have just procured a slide scanner and have been playing about with it.
Here are a few shots taken around the Bedford area in the 1970s.
In this photo, a steam heat 45 arrives at Bedford Midland Road with a semi fast for Nottingham or Derby one Saturday afternoon.
Here, we see 45045 on an Up Class 1 semi-fast crossing out onto the Up Fast at Kempston Road Jct ready for a run to St Pancras.
A photograph of the ubiquitous Class 127 Rolls Royce powered diesel hydraulic DMUs that operated all the suburban services on the line between St Pancras and Bedford
And finally, Kempston Road Jct signalbox from where the last two photographs were taken. This signalbox lasted until the Bedford area was comissioned into West Hampstead during 1980 or 81
