Park and Ride – well that’s a contradiction.

I arrived from Luton, hoping to go and see my grandsons play guitar on the community stages.

However arriving at 1pm I waited for an hour with a large number of others – some very young children, families and disabled people in a huge queue with no bus in sight.

I wanted to go to the river festival – but hey – it seems Bedford does not want the trade or the visitors.

After waiting an hour I gave up and returned home.

Imagine the disappointment. Being a girl born in Bedford, I am completely disgusted that the widely advertised service is completely inadequate.

I would have thought that due to the river festival they would have anticipated an increase in customer demand – but no – how wrong can you get – never again.
