MK central is fine. You just get a taxi outside station to the ground, costs about £8 but last time we shared a taxi with a couple more town fans so it was only a quid or so each...

If you go to Bletchley you still have to go to MK Central first, then get another train to Bletchley. Then it's still a bit of a trek to the ground...

Just Checked 'Trainline.com' and you can do return man pic - MK central for £48, if you book them as singles and not a return journey (booked online only) So it's £59 if you go from Hudds to mkd that way...

Depends which way you maybe, I've been directly through MK to Bletchley the past 2 seasons without having to change, and then it's only a 5 minute walk from Bletchley to the ground - via all the pubs which will be packed with Town fans.

Sounds the best way that Cas, but i've been on the train twice recently and haven't had the option to stay on the train to Bletchley, when travelling from Manchester...
I've just double checked a few train sites, and they all say you change at Milton Keynes, then catch a train that takes 4 mins to Bletchley....
Can you put your train journey details when you have them, cos, i agree the pubs full of Town fans bit, swings it for me....
Mind you with 12.30 kick off, there'll not be too much boozing going on....

Take some tinnies for the journey

Tinnies are the only reason I go on the train to most games..
I've got a company car, so it's free if I drive...But i'd rather pay a few bob to go on the train, and have a few bevvies n' a bit o' banter...

I'm stopping in Birmingham Friday night so will be going from New Street directly to Bletchley - set off at 08:13 and arrive at 09:46. Guessing the route from Manchester must change then whereas from Birmingham it's a direct service. I'd still recommend switching to Bletchley though, won't add hardly anything to the cost and will only take 5 minutes.

Try megabus.com
They do trains to kingscross, then get the overground to Mk
