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 Stadium mk, the home of Milton Keynes Dons F.C., at present about 30 minutes' walk. Fenny Stratford is closer, on the Marston Vale Line.〔http://www.footballgroundguide.com/milton_keynes_dons/#Milton-Keynes-Dons-Stadium-Nearest-Railway-Station〕 There are ticket barriers controlling access to the platforms. ==History== The London and Birmingham Railway, now part of the "West Coast Main Line", was officially opened from to , 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 1847 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. The eastward route (to ) opened in 1846,〔"Milton Keynes Heritage" (map), Milton Keynes Development Corporation, 1983.〕 when the first station at Bletchley was built. The westward route (to ) opened in 1850. This east–west route subsequently became the Oxford – "Varsity Line". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bletchley railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
