| Steam engine headed backwards (tender first) pulling coal trucks. Leighton Buzzard station is reached to the right.
This was a short line with just three stations to the left - Stanbridgeford, Dunstable North and Dunstable Town.
Originally Dunstable & London & Birmingham Railway. Opened 1849, closed to passengers in 1962 and to freight in 1964.
The A505 bypass follows some of the route.
The line had been lifted by 1971. Before the track was lifted but some years after services ceased, an episode of The Avengers (tv) was filmed in 1968 at Stanbridgeford to the left of this image.

At Dunstable there was an 'end-on' connection to the Dunstable-Luton-Hatfield branch, run by the Great Northern which became part of the LNER in 1923. This latter branch closed to passengers in 1965. |
