December timetable brings about changes to Marston Vale Line services
As of Monday 14th December,
the Marston Vale Line will operate to a slightly changed timetable. This
timetable contains several changes to services which we hope you will enjoy.
The most important change to many of our passengers is that the curent 0734
departure from Bletchley to Bedford, calling at all stations, will be re-timed
to run slightly later, starting at 0739 and arriving into Bedford at 0822.
This service has been re-timed as trains will be blocking the platforms at
Bletchley, meaning that we, unfortunately, have to make this service run
later.
We are very pleased to announce that the final evening trains have be re-timed
to run later than usual, fulfilling an ambition to better serve the evening
economy better. The most notable of these is the last 2141 departure from
Bedford, which will now leave at 2156, arriving at Bletchley at 2239.
For all the changes to train times, we recommend that you either
download the new timetable, or pick up a copy at either Bedford or
Bletchley stations.
