1957 map, the West Coast Main Line, south to London, runs down the left side, with Leighton Buzzard station middle left. Dunstable and Luton are off bottom right. The now Leighton Buzzard Railway winds around the east side of the town to Double Arches Sand Quarry (off top right where the line runs alongside Vandyke Road, after turning through a right angle and crossing it on the level).
