The Square, Aspley Guise
Image: © Derek Harper Taken: 5 Feb 2011
On a depressingly gloomy day, and about to get more depressing. I'd timed my arrival here to catch a bus to the station in Milton Keynes in time for a given train. However, because Bedford Road is closed for roadworks, the bus is diverted, and doesn't even come through Aspley Guise. All is not lost, because a notice attached to the bus stop tells me that a free taxi service is available as a replacement to Woburn Sands. So I ring the number, to be told by the taxi company that they're too busy to bother with me. I fervently hope that the local authority or the bus company weren't paying the taxi company anything for this non-existent service. So there followed an unscheduled walk/dash of over four kilometres to Old Farm Park to pick up another bus service. Miraculously, I still made the train.
