Sandy could yet have a station. It's in at least one of the options.

Yes, it may, but like Bedford a 'Parkway' station outside the
built-up area.

The old station wasn't exactly in the town centre.

Station to Post Office in the centre of town: Half a mile, 9 minute
walk, according to Google Maps. (I stopped off at the station last year
because I was looking at cars in the garage on the A1).

The new station is proposed to be a third of the way to Biggleswade.

Since this is about halfway between Peterborough and Kings Cross, are
they planning to make this a major stop for Virgin trains? And will
Stevenage lose the few Virgin trains it has?
