Milton Keynes Central: Milton Keynes at 7.35am - where would I rather be? "Still in bed" would be nice; but fortunately I can now lie in a bit longer, as there is a 6.50 to Euston from Nuneaton, with no changes - a great improvement on the previous status of a 6.29 with two changes, one of which was not reliable. I was nobbled by a security guard after taking this picture - I mentioned RAILSCOT and he seemed to be impressed!
