Luton Bute Street

Bus to Dunstable, soon after departure from Luton Bus Station, ascending the new incline onto the also new Luton & Dunstable Guided Busway, on 2nd October 2013. This runs along the course of the former GNR Dunstable North to Welwyn Garden City branch, closed to passengers in 1965. At this location the line previously continued on an embankment that took the line over the road in the background on a bridge and into the now demolished Luton Bute Street station. The embankment here was bulldozed to allow construction of the rather steep incline to take buses up from the bus station to the level of the remaining embankment along which the busway runs for a short distance on its way towards Dunstable.
