The Route
The
Marston Vale Line was originally opened in 1846, and at one time
formed a key part of the Oxford to Cambridge railway. When the
railways were much more extensive than they are now, the Marston
Vale Line acted as a key strategic transport link across the
country. After the extensive cuts, the Marston Vale Line is the
only remaining section of this link.
The line serves many varied communities. From historic county
towns, to countryside, to tranquil rural villages, and even a new
town, it is fair to say that all areas served by the train will
have something to offer someone. This section of the website is
simply a click-through guide of the communities served by the
Marston Vale Line, before going on to explaining a bit about the
future of the Marston Vale service. You can start this tour by

To find out a bit more about the history of the railway itself, we
suggest that you contact the Bedford to Bletchley Rail Users
Association.
