Here you go.

That's the full image, it was one of the three banner images on the website which is why it is long and wide, I had a hard time finding a decent image so I just used that.

The image is taken off their site, (which isn't on there now? Hmm!) Whoops! forgot the gangway doors

Is this what you were talking about?

Are WMtrains going to extend the Marston vale services to Milton Keynes Central? Maybe it's to early for them to layout plans because I've not found any info.

Are you confusing CLI (Clifton in Salford) with CLF? The data seems to be from the Office of Road and Rail. On another note I discovered why Bedford St Johns seems to have such a huge increase

Better Transport has released a map showing rail usage in growth terms. http://www.bettertransport.org.uk/maps/rail-usage.html Doesn't look good for the Marston Vale line, also I'm not sure why Bedford St Johns shows a 500% increase and then goes on to become the equivalent size to Bedford...

Which is why I prefixed the sentence with "My guess would be"

My guess would be Bedford is a FCC managed station which is unlikey to share its facilites with employees of a rival company so the only place LM employees can take breaks etc is at Bletchley.

But they've already extended the platforms. Looking on brtimes.com It shows Platform 5 heavily used during the morning peak south(presumably coming in from the carriage sidings), as well as the first two marston vale trains and then unused for the rest of the day. NR may have plans for the...

From my local paper Since you can't get to Milton Keynes from Platform 6 I assume there will be no Marston Vale services run to MKC until after 2017 if ever. Anyone know why? was anyone at the meeting and can share some insight which the paper cannot be bothered to report? (also amazed...

2 off 2X5Metre kiosks going onto the footbridge (link will open a .pdf)

I believe Bedford StJohns platform used to belong to Fenny Stratford before the line was singled at that station. I'm not a railway historian but.. Cashes Green Halt may have had a platform made out of disused sleepers, which was the style at the time, and when Chalvey Halt closed the...

On closer inspection there is two wheelarchs but only one seems to be occupied
