The 222006 sweeps through Bedford station working the 09.12 Nottingham to St. Pancras EMR service. The up fast services at Bedford have built up a fair head of speed as they pass through the town having descended from Sharnbrook summit to then cross the flat floodplain of the River Great Ouse on what is a virtually straight alignment for several miles. In fact, the curve that the Meridian is taking in this photograph is the first for some distance.
