Fenny Stratford is a railway station that serves the Fenny Stratford area of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. It is on the Marston Vale Line that links Bletchley and Bedford.
This station is one of five serving Milton Keynes. The others are Wolverton, Milton Keynes Central, Bletchley and Bow Brickhill.
The station is served by London Midland Bletchley – Bedford local services, calling hourly in each direction Mon-Sat (no Sunday service) Services are run with Class 153 single car diesel multiple units and 2-car class 150 unit.
Opened in 1846 by the Bedford Railway, Fenny Stratford station is just over 1 mile (1.6 km) from Bletchley station. The station buildings are in a half-timbered Gothic Revival style that had been insisted upon by the 7th Duke of Bedford for stations close to the Woburn Estate. The buildings are Grade II listed. West of the station is Watling Street which was raised by some 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) to allow the railway to pass beneath; immediately west of the bridge are points connecting the line to Bletchley with a branch leading onto the freight-only line toward Oxford via the Bletchley flyover. The passenger line and station are protected here by trap points, but they are sited such that any runaway train caught by it would subsequently crash into the bridge.
