 Bedford to Bletchley Rail Users' Association
The Bedford to Bletchley railway was opened on 17th November 1846, the first railway to serve the county town of Bedford.
In the past two years all stations between Bedford and Bletchley have seen significant refurbishment.
Thus, by 1862 the 16.5 mile, Bedford to Bletchley line was part of an important 77 mile, cross-country railway, linking the major University cities of Oxford and Cambridge.

 Lidlington Online - on the web since 1995
The railway station in Lidlington is one of the oldest in the county of Bedfordshire, which this year celebrates 150 years of service to the local community.
An early target was to get the service extended from the old, derelict, St. Johns station in Bedford to the main, Bedford Midland station.
The railway was the brain-child of Bedfordshire businessmen who, back in 1844, realised they were losing out on the new transport revolution which was providing massive reductions in transport costs and time - the railway age had been born.

The Pendleton Station area has frequent bus services, Salford Crescent station is half a mile away and anyway the walk would be beneficial to the health of those who sit down all day at work and who sit on a bus or train when travelling thereto and -from as well.
The return journey by coach to the station reveals that, with it being positioned to the east of the dual carriageway, it is necessary to head by road back to the main line itself, pass over it, negotiate a roundabout and recross the line in order to return south to Heathrow Junction.
At Criggion the station house survives, much altered and extended, together with a building which appears to have been the goods shed, although neither structure betrays much evidence of its origins.

 Lidlington Online - on the web since 1995
Bedford was a busy spot on the Midland main line from St.Pancras, as was Bletchley on the West Coast main line from Euston.
All other places were stations with raised platforms and, with the exception of Lidlington, sidings for coal and general goods.
Bow Brickhill, Aspley Guise, Stewartby, and Kempston Hardwick were halts as opposed to stations, their platforms were merely sleepers laid at ground level for a carriage length.

 Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites:Gamlingay Station
The Bedford and Cambridge Railway Bill was put before parliament in 1860 and despite objections from the Eastern Counties Railway the Bill received the Royal Assent on 6th August.
Intermediate stations were built at Blunham, Potton, Gamlingay, Old North Road and Lords Bridge and a bay was provided at the recently rebuilt Cambridge Station to accommodate the Oxford and Bedford trains.
In 1955 The Railway Modernisation Plan proposed improvements in cross country facilities between Oxford and Cambridge with the aim of maintaining a link between the major main line railways outside the congested Greater London area thereby allowing freight traffic to be transferred between three railway regions and easing the burden on London marshaling yards.

 Rail Spin Off
Stations North of Bedford and at Ampthill are needed.
Stations could be located near new development and there may be aggregate traffic to be won to the railways, let alone containers between Felixstowe and Daventry Rail Freight Terminal and the West Midlands.
In 1983 the Bletchley to Bedford passenger service was diverted into Bedford Midland Station for a link up with the ‘Bedpan’ service and the Midland Main Line.

 News Item 24
And then as an after thought, “we will put in a token, basic and deterrent bus station facility” Indeed it will not be a proper bus station, but just some concrete bays and waiting shelters, cold, wet, exposed and out of sight – just the sort of thing to dwindle bus usage.
In short the bus station will be drastically reduced in size, no wait over space and basic shelters.
Proper under cover, warm, well lit facilities for bus users, easy access to town centre shops and a centrally located bus station

Today, some roller coasters fall in to the railway class, but have not been included here, though the reason is obvious.
Athough some rubber tired systems are in the list, they are not included as railways, but because they share railway signal systems in some manner.
The list consists of railways for which we have information on record - This list includes operating railways (carriers and/or equipment), and railways with charters (non-operating), both current and defunct.
