Description
The Marston Vale Line is a quiet little branch line connecting Bedford on the Midland Mainline with Bletchley and the West Coast Mainline, and it runs through the beautiful Marston Vale Region of Bedfordshire with a very scenic route and stations unchanged from the victorian era.

Ridgmont is a particularly interesting station on this line which boasts a heritage museum featuring a ticket office wonderfully preserved in its state all the way from the 1800s as well as a wonderful afternoon tea room.

The route mostly runs an hourly Class 150 service in a really lovely green livery, but often has some very cool unusual movements, such as this Class 69 light engine movement I was lucky enough to catch.

69009 is the first 69 I've seen, and it also happens to be my favourite as I'm a huge fan of the maroon red livery GBRF have gone with, I think its a really striking and spectacular locomotive!
