The line was built through to Dunstable, where it joined end-on to a L&NWR branch from Leighton Buzzard. The L&NWR branch, then part of the London Midland region of BR, closed in 1966, other than a short length at Leighton Buzzard. The line from Dunstable to Hatfield lost its passenger service in April 1965. Sections remained open between Luton and Dunstable and between Hatfield and Blackbridge Sidings (between Ayot and Wheathampstead) for goods traffic. The latter traffic stopped in 1971 and the line was dismantled. |
