GETTING THERE
Milton Keynes is the central point between London and Birmingham, located just off the M1 via Junction 13 from the south (A5) and Junction 14 (A421) from the north and east, and connected to the two cities by rail via the West Coast Main Line.
Once you get to Milton Keynes, the Arena MK and the Great Electric Train Show is a ten-minute drive from Junction 14 of the M1 and seven minutes from Junction 13, or you can follow the A5 to the venue. The Arena MK is built onto Stadium MK, so if you see signs for the Stadium, you’re heading the right way. Event signs will be located at the road side on the weekend of the event. Use postcode MK1 1ST for sat navs.
If you’re travelling by train to Milton Keynes Central railway station, a free bus service will be operating every 30 minutes throughout the day to the Arena MK for the Great Electric Train Show - see timetable below. It will depart from the bus stands immediately outside Milton Keynes Central railway station (see separate panel for timetable). If you are attending via Bletchley or Fenny Stratford stations, it is a 10 minute journey by taxi from either location.
BUS TIMETABLE
A free shuttle bus will be running each day of the Great Electric Train Show on October 2/3 between Milton Keynes Central railway station and the event. The services starts at 9am each day and runs throughout the day following the timetable below:
