Easily beaten by the 3hrs 50mins for the Oxford-Cambridge bus.

How many people take it end to end?

Enough to perhaps convince some gullible people that a rail replacement
for the bus is a good idea?

The few times I took it most people got on or off in Bedford and Milton
Keynes.

The service is in fact a Cambridge-Bedford, and Bedford-Oxford
service[1] glued together with some marketing spin. Much like the East-
West rail route they are trying to resurrect.

Sheesh, what a cheap shot. We hardly need tell you that the train
trip via London is an hour faster, albeit a lot more expensive.

There is a 10 minute layover in Bedford but it's the same bus.
