Services to return to Marston Vale line next month with initial timetable released

    Unit 150139 at Bletchley station / London Northwestern Railway

    An initial timetable has been released ahead of the return of services on the Marston Vale Line next month.

    Driver training is currently taking place on the Marston Vale line for the first time since London Northwestern Railway took delivery of a new fleet.

    The Marston Vale line runs between Bedford and Bletchley but has been out of action since its suspension last December, when Vivarail entered administration.

    London Northwestern Railway says it hopes services will return in November, with an exact date yet to be confirmed.

    A limited timetable has now been released by the operator, which will see services return on weekdays with additional departures and Saturday services returning after more drivers have completed training on the Class 150s.

    In May, London Northwestern Railway stated that 24 train drivers will need to be trained on the Class 150 in order to reintroduce the service after it was found 'no longer safe' to operate the previous Class 230s.

    The initial timetable can be found here.
