Public Transport

Shuttle Bus

If you are travelling by public transport, we will be running two minibuses to shuttle people to and from the site.

Pickup Point Bletchley Railway Station

Drop off Point EMF Site!

The timetable for this is:

Day	Start Time	End Time
Friday	10:00	21:00
Saturday	09:00	15:00
Sunday	12:00	22:00
Monday	08:00	13:00

Rail

Bletchley Station is the closest, with trains to London Euston, Birmingham, etc

If you travel by train, you may be interested in the 2FOR1 offer for Bletchley Park (requires sign up in advance and printing)

For those people who are arriving/departing between Saturday 7 PM and Sunday 1 PM (which should none of you as you should be there from Friday morning), be aware that heading to/from London between Watford Junction and Hemel Hempstead there is no train service due to planned engineering works.

There is a replacement bus service for that leg of the journey, which means the journey is going to be 2 hours (if the buses actually run on time) to/from Euston, as opposed to the normal 30-50 depending if you are on the express train or not.

Air

Closest airports are (in order) LTN, LHR, BHX. LGW and STN are also possible. Minicab taxis (pre-booked) from airports to site:

LTN	~35GBP	40 mins
LHR	~65GBP	70 mins

From Heathrow

Taxi from Heathrow is likely £100+

Train route

• Heathrow Express to Paddington
• Tube Paddington to Euston
• Train Euston to Bletchley

National Express bus

From Luton

Train?

National Express bus

From Stansted

There's no great east-west rail so it's probably best to take a National Express bus.

National Express

Run coaches from major airports, and other towns/cities where you might not be able to get a direct train service to Milton Keynes/Bletchley without going in to London, wandering around the underground to get to Euston Station and adding cost.

The Milton Keynes Coachway is a stone's throw from the M1 J14. It's quite a distance to the EMFCamp (10 miles by road) but a minicab should be around £12-15.

Alternatively a cheaper option is to use the park and ride bus service to the Milton Keynes central train station which is £2 something. It runs every 15 minutes, and takes about 15 minutes. You can take in the sights of Milton Keynes. Then hop on the next southbound London Midland train to Bletchley which is £3.50. They are every 30 mins. This takes about 5 minutes - its the next stop. From there the shuttle bus can transport you and all your gear to site.

Road

If you have spare seats consider offering them on the Car_Share Page, this will also help split the cost of fuel and parking.

The post code of the site is MK17 0BU, and most sat nav systems will do a reasonable job of getting you there. To reduce the disturbance to our neighbours, please avoid driving through the towns of Bletchley and Newton Longville if possible.

If you're coming from the M1 motorway, please take the following route:

Parking

If you are driving you will need to buy one parking ticket per car. The car parking is on a field on the access road approximately 300 metres from the main EMF Camp site. There is no nearby public parking. Please don't park elsewhere as you will inconvenience our neighbours or block access to the site.

Taxis

Below is a list of local taxi services. Entries will be added and removed as we confirm their coverage of the camp site.

• Skyline Taxis
• EEZY Cabs
• Speedline Taxi
• Greenline
• Raffles Cars

Drop-offs will likely be the same location as the shuttle bus drop off point.
