The Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership (MVCRP) is one of a growing number of Community Rail Partnerships across the country, acting as a bridge between local communities and the railway industry to produce a better train service for the community. The Marston Vale line (from Bedford to Bletchley) was designated as a Community Rail Service in November 2006.

The MVCRP is led by BRCC – other partners include London Midland, Central Bedfordshire Council, Milton Keynes Council, Bedford Borough Council, the Bedford to Bletchley Railway Users Association, Network Rail, the Forest of Marston Vale and the Bedfordshire Association of Town and Parish Councils.

Please see its website for more information.
