The journey down to London. This time we went from Milton Keynes with Avanti West Coast. London NorthWestern fares from Northampton seemed ridiculously high for our trip with the Avanti fare being less than half.

350257 & 350253, LN 07.35 Liverpool Lime Street & 08.01 Crewe-London Euston (1G10 & 1W08, 2L), Milton Keynes Central station 
 London Northwestern have persisted with their seemingly obsessive strategy of joining and splitting services even after the new timetable was recently introduced. It has not been a great success and with the Liverpool services being a particular problem not meeting their other service at Birmingham New Street. One of the such services that seems to have worked is seen here at Milton Keynes station. The 07.35 from Lime Street and the 08.01 from Crewe arrived at Euston just four minutes adrift.

390039, VT 08.17 Preston-London Euston (9M48, 2L), Milton Keynes Central station 
 390039 is always easily identified due to the unusual crest on the front of the cabs. It is the flag of Coventry with an image of one of the city's most famous residents, Lady Godiva. The Avanti West Coast service is slowing for its stop at Milton Keynes with the 9M48 08.17 Preston to Esutom service.

221112, VT 07.55 Holyhead-London Euston (1A20, 5L) & 390044, VT 12.00 London Euston-Manchester Piccadilly (1H23, 1L), London Euston station 
 Having arrived at London Euston, I turned the camera back to the buffers at platform one to capture the scene inside the dark and dingey station. We travelled down from Milton Keynes on 221112 'Ferdinand Magellan' that had formed the 07.55 from Holyhead. It pulled in next to 390044 that was at platform two that will soon work the 12.00 to Manchester Piccadilly.

Tickets, Milton Keynes Central-London Euston 
 Our super off-peak single tickets were fair value but positively cheap when compares to the best fare that we could get with London NorthWestern from Northampton! I simply do not understand the huge variation in fares for very similar journies and how they change from day to day!
