Why is it so far from the town center? The original architectural plan they say.. but to me is not functional at all - arrive in mk and you're totally lost - hope it's not raining at least! Apart from that, is a clean and decent place.

The main concourse at Milton Keynes Central has improved a lot in the last couple of years (at least now there are some cash machines!), but overall the place is looking seriously dated. From the outside it gives the impression it hasn't changed since the 80s; the booking office is the same, except substitute 70s for 80s! The place is run my Silverlink trains; tut tut Silverlink, not impressed.

The main link corridor to the platforms is shabby and soulless, but at least the barrier staff are fairly friendly. The platforms themselves are probably the worst feature; windy, narrow, tiling that would look more at home behind the iron curtain, leaking roofs, run down toilets. Puccino's on Platform 5 brings a little light relief at least, in the form of decent coffee. I'm hopeful that the new platform being built will have a positive knock-on consequence on the rest of the station. At least it should increase the number of peak time trains for ean easier escape.
