Central Milton Keynes Rail Improvements

Work has already begun on a £200m upgrade of Milton Keynes Central

station to provide more platforms for inter-city trains, allow the

extension of the Bedford-Bletchley branch line route, and provide

capacity for passenger services from Oxford and Aylesbury.

The early stages of the two-year programme began on 4 December

2006 and were completed 2007.

The overall project will include a third northbound fast line and

platform, which will enable consecutive trains to call at Milton Keynes

during peak times.

The total modernisation is scheduled for completion in 2009, enabling more trains to serve more destinations.
