Kempston Hardwick

The 2.35 to Bedford had little custom. This station is on a 3.5 mile straight, but speeds are still slow, due to frequent level crossings and halts. As the brickworks here has closed, most passengers work on industrial estates in Kempston. Most would probably prefer this station to be replaced by one nearer the former Kempston and Elstow halt, which could also serve the extensive modern housing estates in Kempston.
