http://www.magsys.co.uk/ has a code look-up section - it says that 01234 is a normal geographical number for the Bedford area.

Reading is 0118

Common mistake to make as when the STD code changed from 01734 the powers that be added a 9 prefix to everyones number to make them 7 digit.

NTL cable subscribers in Reading however have numbers starting 0118 3

Wonder if there is a company in the Bedford area who have screwed up the programming of the CLI they send from their switchboard?

Most modern switches allow you to programme any number you like into the "public" CLI field - by that I mean the one that gets displayed on the recipients phone. Maybe someone forgot to add the rest of the number or added a space between the STD code and the number - I've known that truncate the CLI dispalyed.
