390002, VT 07.55 Manchester Piccadilly-London Euston (1R28) & 350254, 350238 & 350255, LM 08.24 London Euston-Milton Keynes (2K21), Milton Keynes station
Milton Keynes station is a pretty soulless station in the
best modernist style of the 1970s. Designed by the MKDC's (Milton Keynes Development Corporation) architect Stuart MosscropIt the station was opened in 1982 after much procrastination, largely from cash strapped BR. They maintained that their InterCity offer to and from Bletchley was perfectly adequate in terms of serving nearby Milton Keynes. In this grey February view 390002 pauses working the 07.55 Manchester to Euston service whilst 350254, 350238 and 350255 have just terminated with the 08.24 from Euston.
