The smaller private car park accessed through an open gate is on the course of the Bletchley - Cambridge line, cut back to Bedford for passenger services in 1967, although there appears to have been freight use of the line here, but only as far as Goldington power station. That closed in 1983. On the extreme left is a washer at the Stagecoach bus garage, and presumably the private car park is for employees here. The retail park is on an old industrial site.
