Interview about local train journeys in the Bletchley area from the 1940s.

Marion Haines remembers coming to Bletchley from Verney Junction, aged 5 or 6, to visit friends and weekly family trips to visit her grandparents in Buckingham. On leaving school she started work in Bletchley so commuted by train until the Buckingham line was closed. She has memories of some of the Bletchley Station staff: Bill Beckett, ticket collector and some of the guards who were on the trains that came to Bletchley from Banbury. She got on well with them, and they made no problems for travellers. She comments: ‘I wasn’t a train fan as such but I can still, even now, smell the old steam trains’. She remembers the Post Office and the steps by the bridge at the old Bletchley Station.
