Millbrook Station
Millbrook station was opened in 1864; it was originally called Marston becoming Millbrook for Ampthill in 1877 and plain Millbrook in 1910. The station house was built in a gothic revival style following a request by the 7th Duke of Bedford that buildings in the vicinity of his Woburn estate should look like this.
The railway here connected Oxford and Cambridge and was known as the varsity line. Unfortunately trains were notoriously slow, generally requiring a change at Bletchley, and it was almost always quicker to travel via London. In 1968 this potentially useful through route was closed but the section here, between Bletchley and Bedford, was retained pending the provision of a suitable alternative bus service (which never came). The future looks much brighter now with the intention of reinstating an Oxford - Cambridge service branded as East-West rail.

Millbrook Level Crossing
The Marston Moretaine - Millbrook road crosses the Bletchley - Bedford railway by means of this level crossing; Millbrook station is on the left. Exactly what is happening to Morteyne House on the right is unclear - the ground floor has been boarded up but upstairs several windows are open.

Train at Millbrook Station
Unit 153371 leaving Millbrook Station on its way to Bedford. These old single car trains have now been replaced with new 2 car trains which are much more fuel efficient than the old ones. Millbrook Station platforms have been refurbished and are still both on the Bedford side of the adjacent level crossing, unlike Lidlington.
