Road directions
From the A5, take the exit sign posted for Denbigh North and Caldecotte, also signed posted for the A4146. Take the 3rd exit on the roundabout, from the south, or 1st from the north, and continue eastwards along the H10 "Bletcham Way". At the first roundabout, named "Walton Park", head south down V10 "Brickhill Street". Go straight across the next roundabout, and you should see the modern crossing barriers installed at this location.
Parking
There is a little used car park on V10 "Brickhill Street" just before the crossing barriers that is free for use. There is little other parking in the area. You will not be able to see you car from the station.
Public transport
By far the easiest way to this location is to use the rail service from either Bletchley or Bedford. There are numerous buses serving the location from either the main Milton Keynes station or shopping centre. These include: 8, 11, 18, 33 - See the Milton Keynes website for more information.
Amenities
There are no amenities on the station or in the local area, the nearest being the water sports club in Caldecotte, or pub/hotel in Walton Park. There are many varied shops in the centre of Milton Keynes, and both Bletchley and Milton Keynes stations have several shops.
The Bedford Bletchley line is running mainly east-west, but slightly south-east to north-west at this point. Photography is probably best in the morning for east bound traffic, and best in the afternoon for west bound traffic. The trees to the north can make a nice backdrop, and due to the lack of trees to the south, the location is quite light, with little shadow trouble. There is quite a sharp curve to both ends of the station, which prevents whole train shots of the freight along the line. The barriers closing and attendant buzzer indicates the arrival of trains. The road these barriers protect can be quite busy at times, and the drivers in the area aren't known for their patience, so videoing may include the sound of revving engines.
