The hugely controversial and massively over-budget Wolverton station building is seen in the warm afternoon sunshine. This is the fourth station building on this site with this one opening over a year late back in the spring of 2013. Despite all the wrangling between Network Rail, London Midland and Milton Keynes Council the building is an attractive affair with its hipped roof incorporating some fake vents in a nod to the design of the nearby Works. There had been calls for a decent station building worthy of such a historic town (rail wise anyway!) since Network SouthEast demolished the 1882 structure without any warning back in 1991 causing a massive row.
