Transport In Sandy
Road
Sandy is situated on the A1 which hugs the western edge of the town. The A603 leads west towards Bedford; the B1042 leads east towards Potton and Cambridge.
The A1 bypass was one of the earlier 1950s improvements on the Great North Road. The bypass required a new bridge over the River Ivel, built by Dorman Long. The roundabout is with the A603 for Bedford, to the west and the B1042 into Sandy itself and on to Potton and Cambridge. The former A603, to the east is now the B1042. The former north south route through the town was over Girtford Bridge, to the west of the current route, and now the A603. There were three separate bypass schemes – the Improvement from Sandy to the junction with A428, Provision of second carriageway through Girtford, and Biggleswade by-pass to Girtford. The Girtford Underpass was built in the early 1990s by Kimbell Construction, at the former Varsity Line railway bridge.
Rail
Sandy Railway Station is located on the East Coast Main Line and provides half hourly trains south to Central London and beyond to Horsham, and north to Peterborough. Journey times to London are typically around 40 minutes. The station is managed and served by Thameslink and Great Northern.
Past & Future Rail Links
The Varsity Line, which connected Oxford to Cambridge, ran through Sandy until 1967, stopping at Girtford Halt at the north end of the bypass. From Bedford to Sandy, the line has been paved over and is now part of the NCR 51 cycle route.
In January 2020, East West Rail Ltd, which exists to re-establish the Oxford to Cambridge rail link, announced a new route between Bedford and Cambridge that will bypass Sandy, with a new station ‘in the Tempsford area’.
