Special Sunday service to Woodworks!
For the third year running, the Marston Vale Line will be running a
Sunday Special Train service to serve the Woodworks! Festival at the Forest Centre,
Marston Moretaine, which takes place on the weekend of Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th
September 2009.
Woodworks!, which will take place a short distance away from Millbrook station.
This annual celebration of woodworking is a fantastic, fun-filled weekend of
entertainment for all the family, dedicated to trees, wood and woodland. Current
plans include many exhibitors, a live battlefield, and live music.
The timetable for the Sunday service will be published on this website as soon as it
becomes available. On the Saturday, trains will operate as per the current
timetable

Stephen Sleight, Transport Officer, said "A Sunday Special for the Woodworks!
Festival is now a key part of the CRP's Calendar. I would encourage everybody
to make full use of this service not just to access Woodworks!, but also for
days out,
walks and cycle rides, and of course to access a series of Marston Vale
walks planned as part of the Bedfordshire
Walking Festival. If you are taking the family, remember to ask for a
Groupsave
ticket for extra discounts on travel."

Rural Communities Charity in association with Central Bedfordshire
Council, London Midland, Milton Keynes Council, Bedford Borough
Council, Bedford to Bletchley Rail Users’ Association, the

The Partnership has been set up to act as a bridge between the
