Bletchley to Bedford St Johns- Reliable

[NickBucks]

I have an appointment in Bedford in a couple of weeks. Is the service from Bletchley to Bedford running satisfactorily now ? Thanks folks.

I'd plan to cope with a cancellation, though both diagrams being canned is rare. Usually a bus is put on if there is significant disruption.

yes - until it isn't.

not meant to be difficult be it can just fall apart. I use it every day. It has in the last few weeks varied from terrible to perfect. A staff shortage or a signal failure or a train failure can knock the service out for 6 hours.

Thank you. I think I will check things out over the next few days before I commit myself.

Is the X5 bus an option? Less comfortable but more reliable. Or a potential backup.

Thanks. If my review of the trains over the next few days suggests a likely hood of delays then I will have to revert to my car.

If you don’t drive, I’d get the bus

They replaced most services yesterday afternoon with a bus and did not even announce it had been replaced by a bus, just that it was cancelled.
I had to phone them and sit on hold for ages to find out if I could get home from work.
Today, mostly cancelled again. No idea if there are busses as the website just says it's cancelled.
