Notes :
(1) Keith Hayward comments: Special train organised for a Sunday morning for BR
officials to talk to the public about the forthcoming BedPan electrification
works. Tickets were free and included travel from your home (BedPan) station to
London and back from Bedford. No timings were issued, and I have no record of
any times. I do however remember a friend closing the booking office at one of
the stations where the train stopped en route in order to get a ride behind his
favourite loco!
