Like the idea of half hourly but would need both Fenny and Lidlington in the mix. Indeed just missing Aspley, Millbrook and Kempston would inconvenience almost no-one and enable enough down time.An interesting question is whether you could do a useful half hourly skip stop type service using three units? That would be quite an upgrade as it would also speed end to end journeys.
I reckon all trains would do Bedford St John's, Woburn Sands and Ridgmont plus one other (I know who'd want it to be Fenny ), but you could alternate the others while maintaining through capacity.

On a more realistic level, I wonder if I'll ride a train here again before I get my bus pass (not that there's much use for that here).
