Bedford St Johns railway station

Bedford, Italy

Bedford St Johns is one of two railway stations in Bedford in Bedfordshire, England, on the Marston Vale Line linking Bletchley and Bedford. It is unstaffed and is operated by London Northwestern Railway. St Johns was Bedford's first station, on the Varsity Line (the original Oxford to Cambridge lin

e). Its role was diminished following the substantial closure of that line in 1967, leaving only the section to Bletchley in operation. British Rail closed the original station on 14 May 1984 and diverted services to/from Bletchley along a new chord line to Bedford Midland station, where a new bay platform was opened for this service. The current Bedford St Johns station was built (also in 1984) on this chord.
