Bridleway bridge at Brogborough

This metal bridge carries the John Bunyan Trail across the Bedford to Bletchley railway line. It is one of few overbridges on this line, as most of the road and footpath crossings are on the level.

Level crossing, Lidlington

Looking from Church Street across the railway to Station Road. The platforms of the station, on the Bedford to Bletchley line, are staggered either side of the crossing so that trains stop after the crossing in both directions.

Down platform, Lidlington railway station

Used by trains from Bletchley to Bedford; the platform for trains in the opposite direction is behind the photographer. A Bedford train is approaching, hence the barrier being down and red lights flashing.
