The new Bedford St. Johns Station The new Bedford St. Johns Station was opened in May 1984 when the old station of the same name was closed.  Trains on the Marston Vale Line were diverted to terminate at the main Bedford Station, so this new station was built to provide access in the St. Johns area.  The old station was on the Bedford to Cambridge line and had been a terminus since closure of the Cambridge section.
