Bedfordshire - top class escort tara's home county
Technically, my home county, but only just. It's where my incall location is, in Whipsnade. For anyone wanting to make use of my escort services at my luxurious country retreat, here is a little background information on Bedfordshire and general transport details.
Bedfordshire (abbreviated Beds.) is a county in England that forms part of the East of England region. Its county town is Bedford. It borders Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire (with the Borough of Milton Keynes) and Hertfordshire.
Bedfordshire is a shire county, mostly under the control of Bedfordshire County Council. This is divided into three local government districts, Bedford Borough, Mid Bedfordshire District and South Bedfordshire District. Additionally, Luton Borough is a unitary authority that forms part of the county for various functions such as Lord Lieutenant and High Sheriff, but does not come under county council control.
Transport
Although not a major transport destination, Bedfordshire lies on many of the main transport routes which link London to the Midlands and Northern England. My schedule changes a lot so if you wish to take advantage of my escort services in Bedfordshire I would recommend booking in advance.
Roads
Two of England's six main trunk roads pass through Bedfordshire:
The A1 London to Edinburgh road (The Great North Road) runs close by Biggleswade and Sandy
The A5 London to Holyhead road (Watling Street), passes through Dunstable
To these was added in 1959 the M1 motorway, the London to Leeds motorway. This has three junctions around Luton, one serving Bedford and another serving Milton Keynes.
Former trunk roads, now Local Roads managed by the local highway authority include A428 running east-west through Bedford Borough, and A6 from Rushden to Luton.
Railways
Three of England's main lines pass through Bedfordshire:
The West Coast Main Line has but a short section in the far west of the county. The one station at Leighton Buzzard is served by London Midland trains to Euston and Northampton.
The East Coast Main Line has stations at Arlesey, Biggleswade and Sandy, served by First Capital Connect services to King's Cross and Peterborough
The Midland Main Line serves Luton and Bedford with trains to many destinations operated by East Midlands Trains and First Capital Connect.
There are rural services also running between Bedford and Bletchley along the Marston Vale Line.
Taxis
Bedfordshire is served by a large number of taxi companies. Luton is reported to have the highest number of taxicabs per head of population in the United Kingdom with a number of firms competing for work in the town and from London Luton Airport.
Waterways
The River Great Ouse links Bedfordshire to the Fenland waterways. As of 2004 there are plans to construct a canal linking the Great Ouse at Bedford to the Grand Union Canal at Milton Keynes, 23 km distant.
Air
London Luton Airport has flights to many UK, Europe, North America and North African destinations, operated by low-cost airlines.
