Bedford railway station: Freightliner
One of four photos taken on the same day showing different operators' trains at the same station. This is a Freightliner service, which can be seen snaking across from the 'down' to the 'up' line outside the station to pause for a crew change. It was headed by no. 66623 "Bill Bolsover" - named on 16 November 2007 "in recognition of his long standing contribution to the construction materials industry and Aggregate Industries".
