New timetable signals changes for trains on the Marston Vale Line
In
response to passenger feedback, as of Monday 18th May, the Marston
Vale Line will run to a new timetable. This timetable contains
several minor changes to most services on the line, which we hope
that you will appreciate!
The most notable change is that the busy 0739 departure from
Bletchley (arrive Bedford 0821) will leave Bletchley 5 minutes
earlier (0734) Monday to Friday, and will run around 5 minutes
early throughout the journey. This service has be re-timed to
better serve passengers who are travelling to work or school in
Bedford.
The majority of other services have also been re-timed to run
either a few minutes earlier or later. This is to tackle
long-standing confusion over varying train times on weekdays and
weekends.
We therefore highly recommend that all passengers obtain a copy of
the latest timetable to check to see if their train is affected.
You can download a copy of the timetable by clicking on the link

Bletchley or Bedford ticket offices, or call London Midland on 0845
602 4277 to have copy sent to you.
