Scruffy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If you look on National rail, it says main station has a taxi rank and St Johns doesnt , if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If you look on National rail, it says main station has a taxi rank and St Johns doesnt , if that helps Yup, you should be able to just turn up at Bedford main station (BDM) and get a cab - if not you can probably get one to turn up there quite sharpish. If you go to Bedford St Johns (BSJ) you'll either have to book one in advance, or call one when you get there (I assume there will be at least a list of numbers, if not a special taxiphone) at the station. Other details about the relative appeal of each station are in a previous post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenway Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have two words for you Google Maps It's 0.6 miles to walk. That's about a kilometre, right? Not too far Correct. Its about 20mins walk, but some of the roads haven't any pavements so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 From the mainstation Google says it's a 18 minute walk. I haven't look for the other station, but it seems to me, that this one is a little bit nearer, isn't it? Anyway, I don't like to change trains, so I go by mainstation and take a taxi.

Which is either a thoroughly insignificant increase of about 0.2 miles / 350 metres, or a hugely significant increase of over 30% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
