Kempston Hardwick railway station

Stewartby, Italy

Kempston Hardwick railway station serves the village of Kempston Hardwick in Bedfordshire, England. The station, on the Marston Vale line (and, prospectively, East West Rail), has two platforms next to a half-barrier level crossing. As of 2024, Kempston Hardwick is the least used station in Bedfords

hire. However, in 2023 Universal Studios announced that it had bought land beside the station, where it plans to build its first UK theme park. On 9 April 2025, the Government announced that it had approved the plan and, subject to detailed planning approvals, construction is expected to start in 2026. The project plans to transform the area, with a completely rebuilt railway station to replace the current one (as well as a new Wixams railway station on the Midland Main Line, on the other side of the site).
