Bletchley Railway Station

Bletchley is a railway station that serves the southern parts of Milton Keynes, England (especially Bletchley itself), and the north-eastern parts of the Buckinghamshire district of Aylesbury Vale. It includes a junction of the West Coast Main Line with the Bletchley- Marston Vale Line. This is one of the five railway stations serving Milton Keynes. The others are, and. It is the nearest main line station for Bletchley Park, the WW2 codebreaking centre, and for Stadium mk, the home of Milton Keynes Dons F. C. , at present 30 minutes' walk. Fenny Stratford is closer, on the Marston Vale Line. There are ticket barriers controlling access to the platforms. HistoryThe London and Birmingham Railway, now part of the "West Coast Main Line", was officially opened from as far as (approximately one mile north of Bletchley station) on 9 April 1838, where a temporary station was built. The line was fully opened in September 1838, and there seemed no apparent need for a station in the Bletchley area at all. It was not until 1846 that Bletchley station was built following the opening of the line from Bedford. Originally a major intercity station, that role passed to Milton Keynes Central in 1982 when the latter was built, long after the east–west route had been downgraded, taking Bletchley's importance as a junction with it. Today, no Virgin Trains stop at Bletchley.
