Trains at: Bletchley, WCML, 06/08/26

A very enjoyable afternoon session spent at Bletchley on the West Coast Mainline and East West Rail link where we see services from London Northwestern Railway, Avanti West Coast, Chiltern Railway and freight from Freightliner and GBRF.

Bletchley was built in 1846 by the London and Birmingham Railway once the line was completed from London Euston to Denbigh Hall which was located roughly 1 mile north of Bletchley station. This was at first considered a major station due to the fact that Milton Keynes hadn't been built let alone even thought of yet. Once Milton Keynes had been constructed the importance of Bletchley really fell away especially when the East - West route had been downgraded. This isn't to be confused with the new East - West rail link that is currently being constructed from Oxford to Cambridge, since my last visit the station on that section of the line is really coming along with both tracks now laid and ballasted on the flyover.

Trains are running along the line to and from Oxford but as to when we get to see revenue earning services on the line remains to be seen.

My next film was actually the Radley film that was uploaded, this was due to the fact that me being the genius that I am deleted this video from my phone before getting it released. So the next film is from Cathiron on the West Coast Mainline.
