Details

Bedford Midland station, Bedfordshire, 26th June 1977.

The beautiful old 1859 Midland Railway station seen here was demolished to make way for a modern station 200yards away in 1978 when the line was electrified from Bedford to St Pancras (The BedPan line). The station was actually built when the Midland Railway reached London via the their line to the Great Northern Railway at Hitchin and onwards to Kings Cross. After problems with the GNR the MR opened its own line to the capital in 1868.

This was taken on a Sunday morning and the dmu seemed to be stabled in the platform rather than on a London service or perhaps just waiting for the first train of the day.
