	about
		Old Bletchley is in the area closest to the railway station, Bletchley Park and Milton Keynes College's Bletchley Campus.
		There is also an SRB regeneration project for Fenny Stratford and Water Eaton (Bletchley to the east of the railway line).
		Dating from the Roman Watling Street, Bletchley has long had a role as a transport nexus from the era of the stage coach, the Grand Union Canal and Stephenson's railway which for some time terminated at Denbigh.

	A Brief History of Fenny Stratford
		T he arrival of the railways in the 1830's heralded the demise of the stagecoach, but Fenny Stratford survived and the opening of the Bletchley-Bedford line in 1846 provided a rail link with the London-Midland route passing through Bletchley.
		The former village of Bletchley absorbed Warter Eaton in 1934 and began to dominate the town of Fenny Stratford.
		Up until the late 60’s and early 70’s Fenny maintained a wide variety of shops for everyday living but these gradually fell away as Bletchley’s Queensway had plenty to offer and it’s public services were being constantly improved.

	Lidlington Online - on the web since 1995
		The railway station in Lidlington is one of the oldest in the county of Bedfordshire, which this year celebrates 150 years of service to the local community.
		Unfortunately, the Railway Inspectorate decided that there was too many people on the footplate, and since they required the combined talents of the five people concerned to run the train, the first service from Bletchley left about 2 hours behind schedule, steam blowing and whistle sounding, but powered by a diesel locomotive engine.
		Present responsibility for the Bedford to Bletchley service rests with North London Railways, a subsidiary company, prior to full privatisation of the British Railways Board.

	Lidlington Online - on the web since 1995
		Bedford was a busy spot on the Midland main line from St.Pancras, as was Bletchley on the West Coast main line from Euston.
		All other places were stations with raised platforms and, with the exception of Lidlington, sidings for coal and general goods.
		Bow Brickhill, Aspley Guise, Stewartby, and Kempston Hardwick were halts as opposed to stations, their platforms were merely sleepers laid at ground level for a carriage length.

	Welcome to The Branch Line
		At that time Wolverton station was considerably more important than Bletchley, and the scheme may have originated in the dissatisfaction of some inhabitants of Bedford, with the proposal to build the branch from Bedford to Bletchley.
		However, by this time the railway companies were in serious financial difficulties because people had been in the habit of applying for far more shares than they could afford, because they expected to be allotted only a fraction of the shares they had asked for.
		Railways are expensive to construct, and generally speaking, are useless until completed throughout: they cannot be built up from small beginnings.

		My comments were based on my experience of people taking buses from Bletchley bus station (just opposite the railway station**, and an unnecessarily grim hellhole) to CMK.
		At Milton Keynes, the buses stop conveniently for >the shopping area, wheras the railway station is another ten minute >walk away.
		There is quite a lot of housing in the near surrounds of Bletchley station, perhaps much more so than Wolverton.

	Spectator, The: beauty of signal-boxes, The
		The Duke of Bedford insisted that railway stations built on his estate had to be picturesque.
		In Britain's Historic Railway Buildings they can look up stations, tunnels, viaducts and signal-boxes all the way from Penzance - where Brunel's original station was described as a large dog's house of the nastiest and draughtiest kind - to the king-post roofs of Wick and Thurso.
		His stations can still be seen from that improbable survival, the slow train from Bletchley to Ridgmont, Millbrook, Fenny Stratford and Woburn Sands.
