Bow Brickhill railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Bow Brickhill in the Borough of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and the Caldecotte, Tilbrook and Walton areas of south-east Milton Keynes itself. It is on the Bletchley — Bedford Marston Vale Line, about 2 miles (3.25 km) east of Bletchley. The station is served by London Northwestern Railway local services from Bletchley to Bedford. Services are operated using Class 150/1 and Class 153 diesel multiple units. This station is one of the five stations serving the Milton Keynes urban area.{{efn|The others are {{rws|Wolverton}}, {{rws|Milton Keynes Central}}, {{rws|Bletchley}} and {{rws|Fenny Stratford}}.}} HistoryThe London and North Western Railway opened Bow Brickhill station in 1905, significantly later than many other stations on the branch. It was one of seven halts built for the introduction of a steam rail motor service over the line.[1] It closed temporarily during the first World War as an economy measure, from Jan 1917 to May 1919. Bow Brickhill lost its staffing and gated level crossing to modernisation in the 1980s, and since then the station has been unmanned except for two security cameras operated from other stations. Until 2004 Bow Brickhill was unique on the line for having staggered platforms. The purpose of this is so that road traffic on the level crossing is not held up by trains standing still in the platform. However recently a number of other stations on the line including Aspley Guise have been rebuilt to have their platforms staggered also as part of the Bedford-Bletchley route modernisation. Another oddity about Bow Brickill is that the road crossing here, the V10 Brickhill Street, has a roundabout immediately on either side of the crossing. This causes traffic jams whenever the crossing barriers are down, as each roundabout clogs with the traffic queue and remains so for up to ten minutes. ServicesAn hourly service is provided in each direction to {{rws|Bletchley}} and to {{rws|Bedford}} Monday to Saturday. There is no Sunday service.[2] {{s-rail-start|noclear=yes}}{{s-rail|title=National Rail}}{{s-rail-national |next=Woburn Sands |previous=Fenny Stratford |toc=London Northwestern Railway|route=Marston Vale Line|notemid=Mondays-Saturdays only}}{{end}} Community Rail PartnershipBow Brickhill station, in common with others on the Marston Vale Line, is covered by the Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership,[3] which aims to increase use of the line by involving local people.
