Bletchley Station
This station on the West Coast Main Line lost some of its status in the 1980s when Milton Keynes Central was opened a few miles to the north. Nevertheless, it retains healthy commuter traffic and is also the starting point for trains to Bedford. The entrance is unusual in that it is the 'wrong' side of the line for access to the town centre. The group of men waiting by the main door were QPR supporters who had arrived here to attend an FA cup 3rd round match against MK Dons.

A Stanier 'Duchess' stops at Bletchley for water
View southward, towards London (Euston) on the West Coast Main Line. This was an unscheduled stop, probably due to the locomotive's inability to take up water at the troughs in the icy - and foggy - weather, December 1956. The engine is No. 46234 'Duchess of Abercorn', one of five of Stanier's great 'Coronation' 4-6-2's built in 1938 without streamlining. The driver is controlling the water-column, his fireman being up on the tender.

Bletchley Station, exterior
View southward, towards London (and Oxford); ex-LNW London - Rugby - Birmingham and the North WCML, junction for Oxford, Bedford and Cambridge. This was entrance of station, on the Down side before the station was completely rebuilt in 1965 for the WCML electrification. The post-war flyover, connecting with Oxford line - but scarcely used - is visible in the background. Passengers services to Oxford, and Bedford - Cambridge ceased 1/1/68, but were restored Oxford - Bicester on 9/5/87 and may well soon return to Bletchley.
