A letter from Rail Minister Jo Johnson MP to Andrew Selous dated 29th January 2018 states that there will be 100 additional car parking spaces as well as additional cycle racks at Leighton Buzzard Station. Responding to the news, South West Bedfordshire MP Andrew Selous said:
“I’m very pleased to see these additional car parking spaces and cycle racks at Leighton Buzzard station although I remain extremely concerned about the fact there is currently standing room only on the 07.07, 07.27, 07.40, 08.07 and 09.33 trains from Leighton Buzzard to Euston. I’m aware that other, slower, services during the morning peak have plenty of seats but, understandably, rail commuters do not want their journeys to take any longer than necessary. The 400 brand new carriages that are coming over the next few years are very welcome but they can’t come soon enough as far as commuters are concerned.”
