The rebuilt station, which used the same box-shaped architectural design as the new station at Bedford, was formally opened on 17 December 1979 by the local MP, Cecil Parkinson. Speaking at the opening ceremony, British Rail London Divisional Manager, Harry Reed, expressed the hope that electrification would be extended to and then from to Bedford.
