Go to www.londonmidland.com for all the services and prices.
You can get a £14 day return on the day with both London Midland and Virgin Trains, and it's the former if you want to get out of the place as quickly as poss, but make sure you get on the right company's service that you purchased the ticket for!
Here are some examples:
London Euston 12.13 - Milton Keynes Central 12.54 - London Midland
London Euston 12.46 - Milton Keynes Central 13.24 - London Midland
London Euston 13.43 - Milton Keynes Central 14.13 - Virgin Trains
Milton Keynes Central 17.21 - London Euston 18.18 - London Midland
Milton Keynes Central 17.41 - London Euston 18.27 - London Midland
Milton Keynes Central 18.04 - London Euston 18.48 - Virgin Trains
Remember you have to get a bus or cab onwards to stadium:mk so give yourself some extra time from the station.
It is cost effective if planning to catch a bus to purchase your ticket online and add the PlusBus option at an extra £2, this is cheaper than a day return bought on the No. 7 or 32 services.
The arrow is pointing to the nearest pubs to the station, very important!
BUSES
You need the 7 and 32 buses that go past the stadium:mk from right outside Milton Keynes Central, the ground is around four miles away.
There is a taxi rank outside the station, see cab link below.
You could stay on the train to Bletchley, if it stops there, which is around about two miles away from the stadium.
There is a taxi rank outside otherwise you can embark on the 20-25 minute walk to the stadium.
Turn left immediately you come out of the station building and continue to and down the steps. At the bottom of the steps turn left go under the railway bridge. At the roundabout by the Park pub turn left onto Saxon Street. Keep straight on this road and you will eventually reach the stadium.
However you will need to cross over to the other side, as there is only one path beside it. You will pass Bletchley Bus Station on your right and then the Enigma Pub. Go straight across the double mini roundabout following signs for the A5 and you will see the stadium over on your left. (See map below.)
TAXIS
A cab from MK Central costs around £10 to the ground, from Bletchley a touch cheaper. So if four of you get together not much more than the bus anyway.

Day Return from Southend £36.
Remember, it's in a Group Save area that can cut fares in half if four of you can travel together, and any various travelcards will make it even cheaper.
