Today is a big day. For the first time in nearly a year passenger trains return to the line. A limited service hopefully only until January when a full service resumes. Tag us into pictures/videos you take over the next couple of days and we will retweet. #ReturnOfTheTrain

Yesterday we had a look over the Class 150s that are set to return to the line this month. They have wheelslip protection with which the ones we used to have weren’t equipped with. Accessible toilet and dedicated space for cycles, wheelchairs and pushchairs and USB charging

Aspley Guise ✅️ - It's the least used In The County if Kempston Hardwick isn't & fun fact it's my favourite station on this line 😀

The @ChequersFenny pub in Fenny Stratford has just reopened after refurbishment. It's about 2-3 minutes walk from stn and well worth a visit

A new addition at one of our stations is this @SanCyclesMK Hire Point where you can continue or complete your journey when using our line at Woburn Sands. A great addition to the town as well as the station and journeys from just £1

Details of train times are available in the link. . Apart from College times this timetable was designed to fully connect with the mainline, primarily a clockface timetable. And what could be better, but a £1 (or less) fare offer to get you back onboard!

A slightly odd angle today for our #WindowWednesday contribution with a view of one of the lovely murals on the line, this one from Lidlington, pictured is one of our previous trains. Do you recognise the livery?
