The Station Hotel, Woburn Sands
Understandably right next to the station, on the A4012 - called (you've guessed it) Station Road! I expect that the builder realised that the line was never going to be anything more than a branch, so the premises were kept to a modest scale.

Woburn Sands Station
Looking towards Bedford. The station house on the left and the other station buildings are now available to let as business offices and meeting venues. Passengers are provided with bus shelters and steel seats.
One of the local MK buses can be seen crossing the railway on the A4012, heading towards Woburn. The route is currently supported by contractors Wimpey as part of their involvement in a local affordable housing scheme.
