Leighton-Linslade Urban District Leighton-Linslade was an urban district in Bedfordshire, England from 1965 to 1974. It comprised the single civil parish of Leighton-Linslade. Leighton-Linslade UD was created on 1 April 1965 coinciding with an adjustment to county boundaries which led to the disbanding of Leighton Buzzard Urban District in Bedfordshire and Linslade Urban District in Buckinghamshire. The new urban district encompassed the two original towns of Leighton Buzzard and Linslade which had become contiguous through industrial expansion and housing development and henceforth
Stanbridgeford railway station private residence and the platform area has been incorporated into the garden. In 1991, the A505 Leighton Southern Bypass opened and reused a section of the railway alignment from a point to the west of the former station to a point to the north-west of Billington. The line to the east is also severed by the road. The signal box which controlled access to Tottenhoe Lime siding was moved in January 1969 to the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway. What remains of the line to the east has become part of the Sewell greenaway as far as French's Avenue in Dunstable.
