RAIL CONNECTIONS

London, Bedford
and the last few miles.

Bedford is on the rail network from London St Pancras. East Midlands Railway and Thameslink serve the corridor, with different stopping patterns.

Heathrow passengers can use the Elizabeth line to Farringdon and change to a northbound Thameslink service. Check that your train calls at Bedford.

Allow room for the real journey

Immigration, collecting bags, walking between platforms and waiting for a train all add time. Avoid treating a scheduled train journey as your full airport transfer.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

A few tips for the trip over

01

Plan beyond the park

Think about whether London or Bedford makes more sense for the rest of your visit. Wait for park operating hours and transport details before deciding how to split your stay.

02

Check entry requirements

Before booking, use the UK government’s checker for your nationality and circumstances. Entry rules may change before the resort opens.

Pack for changeable days

A cool morning and a mild afternoon can call for different layers. See the local climate in Celsius or Fahrenheit, along with our month-by-month packing suggestions.
