The Railway Heritage of Bletchley: Where the Lines Meet the People’s Story by Marion Hill. For eight generations Bletchley Station has connected London with Birmingham and Oxford with Cambridge. Within five years of the old Bletchley Station’s birth, a hundred men laboured in three acres of sidings and sheds, handling seventy steam trains a day.
Now old Bletchley Station lives again through the words of those who worked and lived on the railway. Their stories tell the real tale, better than any statistics.
