After a necessary family-inspired taxi run to Bedford last night I was confident about getting out of the village this morning and driving to Flitwick station. However the FCC departure board on the web at 6.30 am was showing 'cancelled' in repeat performances. But Milton Keynes seemed to be operative.With only Radio 3 Counties for company I set off toward Salford. The R3C buzz was all about Arriva buses and someone who wanted to know if they could get up Ampthill Hill (shouldn't that be Ampt Hill?).
The first big shock after driving through Salford to Broughton was to discover that the Broughton Road was now closed for construction of Milton Keynes coachway. So it was turn around and down to H8 and then H7 and finally V6, Grafton Gate. It could have been worse and it could have been better. Most of the dual carriageways - well, all of them - had only one operative lane and once car got stuck it took ages to get round. The 4x4s imperiously ploughed down the snow-laden central reservations. The train from MK was in reasonable time.. Now I just need to get back and into the village.
