I'm not so sure about that, they could have put it in front of the transport interchange by the pedestrian crossing, for example.

Yes, I think they just forgot to put it back once the work was completed.

As far as I am aware, every station on the national rail network should have a sign outside with the double arrow symbol and the station name. Flitwick, my local station, doesn't. Are there any others?

Flitwick Interchange - three stands for only 2-3 buses an hour plus the occasional shuttle to Woburn Centre Parcs. Conveniently sited in front of the railway station but inconvenient for buses to actually stop there because of the road layout. Buses coming from the Ampthill direction drive past...

a similar arrangement happened in Luton in the 1960s Service 29 Airport - Town Centre -Priestleys Service 30 Priestleys -Town Centre - Limbury Serivice 31 Limbury - Town Centre - Airport Each route only operated in one direction. Leicester Corporation used to link routes across the...

I've just dug out my collection of old United Counties timetable books and the routes ran as follows in 1969 so should be similar to what ran in 1964. 130 ran via Sherington, Emberton and Olney 131 was jointly operated by City of Oxford and United Counties and ran on the same route as the 131...

There's probably a cash register enthusiasts forum on the web somewhere where they discuss such things in minute detail:lol:

What is P-coding?

When I was a child in the 1960s my family would regularly take the United Counties 61 bus from Luton to Aylesbury. The red, black and duck egg green livery of the City of Oxford buses I saw there was so much more impressive than the bland Tilling green livery of United Counties.

Surely June 9th would be more appropriate, George Stephenson's birthday.

Possibly the Birmingham & Gloucester railway would have been taken over by the Great Western instead of the Midland

The Southwold Railway in Suffolk was 3ft gauge, as was the Isle of Man railway.

The main airport approach road and part of Vauxhall Way near the airport are closed. Traffic all around Luton is chaos this morning, took me an hour to get to work instead of the usual 30 minutes.

The Farmers Boy is in Kensworth on the road between Markyate and Whipsnade. It was a terminus on some journeys on the 364a from Luton and is still a timing point on Centrebus services 40 and 40a from Dunstable to Whipsnade.

Yes, it's the old parcel siding. There used to be a Red Star parcels office and a road van loading bay approximately where the taxi drop off point is now. I remember there were always a couple GUV parcels vans parked in the siding during the day, which I assume were picked up overnight.

I think you're right but they were announced as smoke breaks ( replying to duncanp )

I did this trip back in 2006 and my experience pretty much matches those above. One thing that surprised me is that every so often we would stop for a 'smoke break' and all the smokers on the train would rush outside for their nicotine fix. One break was at Winnemucca, Nevada, which really is in...

I often see a Green Line 757 coach on Arriva Luton local service 24/25 heading out of town in the morning peak. There are two large colleges on the north side of time and they run extras during term time.

Before lockdown I travelled from London to De Panne via Brussels using the Eurostar any Belgian station ticket. A relaxed journey with time for a leisurely lunch in Brussels.

The Stagecoach MK1 service from Bedford to Milton Keynes via Luton Airport takes 2 hours 35 minutes compared to the direct X5 service which takes 49 minutes
