Just a quick question about getting there...

[Tiki]

My Friend and I are getting the national express down from Stockport,

(£22 return instead of a scandalous £48 SINGLE on the train!!)

and the coach drops us at Milton Keynes Coach way.We are staying at the Milton Keynes Central travelodge, just wondering if anyone knew how easy it is to get to from the Coachway? Are there taxi's around?

Many Thanks in advance!!!

The text below was in another thread. This is a better option as it is now within walking distance of the shopping centre. It's sounds like this will be the situation for the next 12 months or so until the new facility is open. The shopping centre is located in between Midsummer Boulevard and Silbury Boulevard. Campbell Park is quite large but is over the road from the John Lewis end of the centre where Collectormania is held.

 

 

"From 19th April 2008 the Coachway will move from its current location at Junction 14 whilst a new coach passenger terminal is constructed. The site at Campbell Park was chosen after consultation with passengers, the coach companies, residents and parish councils.

 

Long distance coach services currently calling at Junction 14 will move to a temporary location between Montrose Street and Pilgrim Street, off Silbury Boulevard in Campbell Park, where facilities will include a waiting room, ticket office, toilets, 80 adjacent parking spaces and a café. The site will be well lit, have CCTV and 24-hour on-site security.

 

Services will operate from this location 24 hours a day. This includes all National Express services to London, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Birmingham and many other locations as well as the MK1 commuter service to London City and Canary Wharf.

 

In the meantime, the ground is being prepared for a state-of-the-art passenger terminal building to be built on the new Park & Ride site adjacent to Junction 14 of the M1. It is anticipated that this will be completed in early 2009."

I THOUGHT I saw something about that!!! Thats really helpful, thank you. Any ideas as to how far away the travelodge is from this new coach drop off?

Looking at the map the coach stop is at one end of Silbury Boulevard. You would have to walk along Silbury Boulevard to get to Collectormania. If you are at the Travelodge on Grafton Gate then this is at the other end of Silbury Boulevard.

Use the above link. The red circle is the above Travelodge. The shopping centre is the large building under the words Central Milton Keynes and the coach stops near the yellow roundabout in the top right corner.

 

Hope this helps.
