UB1 service withdrawn

The following update is provided by The University of Bedfordshire: 

The free shuttle bus service between Bedford train station and the University of Bedfordshire’s Bedford campus will be withdrawn from Monday 1st September 2025.
This decision has not been taken lightly. Following a review of the service, we found that student usage has remained very low, and unfortunately it is no longer viable to continue operating the service.


We understand this may impact some students’ travel plans, so we’re committed to supporting you with alternative options:
