Welcome to the Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership!
Welcome to the website of the Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership, the home of the Marston Vale Line on the internet!
The Marston Vale railway is a small rural railway running through the heart of the beautiful Marston Vale countryside between Bedford in Bedfordshire, and Bletchley in Buckinghamshire. As well as being the main public transport link in the area, the hourly
train service provides access to jobs, schools, and leisure facilities in the Marston Vale.
On this website, you can find out about the rail service, buy tickets, and find out what to do in the countryside and in the town, among other things! You can also discover a little about the Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership (that's us). We hope you
have a pleasant visit, and look forward to seeing you on board soon!
Next Major Event - Easter Eggspress (4th April)
Keep up to date with Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership events that you can travel to by train by signing up to our e-bulletin. Simply e-mail us onofficer -at- marstonvalecommunityrail -dot-org-dot-uk to sign up!
Our popular annual Easter Eggspress is back, and it's bigger and better than ever!
On board will be face-painters and balloon modellers, with some refreshments too. There's no need to book in advance - just turn up on the day.
We will be putting on several trains this year. The first train leaves Bletchley at 14:01, and all trains call at all stations, so you just pick it up along the way! Normal train fares apply, but you can get some great bargains if you travel as a family or in a group. Our flyer has more information.
We're getting a new website!
After many years, we decided that the website needed a bit of a spruce up. So shortly we shall be launching our brand spanking new website.
As well as having all your favourites, it will have some brand new features including Blogs and pages for our Station Adoption Groups. And we'll have Facebook too!
The new site will go live soon, so just check back. You may see something new!
