Poisoned Dart...
The Bedford Dart was an initiative set up by Bedfordshire County Council around about 2005 which sought to give a corporate branding to some of the Council subsidised bus services running in the area. Along with the North Beds Dart operating services out towards Renhold, Little Staughton, Keysoe, Kimbolton etc and East Beds Dart operating runs out from Biggleswade to Potton, Sandy etc the Bedford Dart offered journies to various parts of the town unserved by regular town services. Part of the car park at Aspects Leisure was devoted to a Park and Ride style operation of which a sign as seen here remains at the side of the little used Aspects Car Park alongside Barkers Lane. The Bedford Dart series of routes was ultimately unsuccessful and nearly all remains of the services were removed quickly after the routes ended in 2008. This sign is a rare reminder of this part of bus service history in the Bedford area.
