66760 nearing Bedford St. Johns station with an aggregate train
GBRF Class 66 66760 with an empty aggregate hopper train nearing Bedford St. Johns station. The train originated at the Cemex concrete depot in Bletchley taking empty wagons back to the Cemex quarry at Peak Forest, Derbyshire. There are daily trains bringing aggregate to the depot for use in making concrete to be used locally in the Milton Keynes area.

Waste land, Bedford
Looking from Elstow Road at what I at first thought was old railway land, but looking at old maps, it never really was, although the far side bordered the railway. On a 1901 map only, one siding, probably private, appears across the middle, but no buildings have ever been mapped. Was it some sort of temporary military depot?

South Wing, Bedford Hospital
The large boilerhouse chimney that served the four old oil-fired boilers is unused since they were replaced by modern gas-fired boilers, which only need the three small and much less obtrusive chimneys. Savings from the £1 million project are estimated to be £450000 pa, with boiler efficiency increased from 58% to 80%, and carbon emissions are significantly reduced. http://www.etaenergy.co.uk/
