History

In 1979, the station was rebuilt at a cost of £500,000 as part of the Midland Suburban Electrification scheme between Template:Rws and Template:Rws.[4] The rebuilt station, which used the same box-shaped architectural design as the new station at Bedford, was formally opened on 17 December 1979 by the local MP, Cecil Parkinson.[4] Speaking at the opening ceremony, British Rail London Divisional Manager, Harry Reed, expressed the hope that electrification would be extended to Template:Rws and then from Template:Rws to Bedford.[4]
