Great Northern Road continuing into Station Road is a road about 600 metres long in Dunstable at grid reference TL025216. It was numbered A5124 before it was de-trunked. Now it contains speed bumps. It was commonly used as a cut-through of using the double-mini roundabouts in the centre of Dunstable, for people turning left from the A505 to the A5.

This road also featured the Dunstable Town Station, before it was closed. The station was owned by the Great Northern Railway, hence the name of the road.

The road follows the path of an ancient track way. [1] [2]

The Station opened in 1858, and the road was finally made up into a proper road in 1886.
