'''Fenny Stratford''' is a single-platform station situated on the [[Marston Vale line]]. Opened on 17 November 1946 as part of the [[London and Birmingham Railway]]'s route between [[Bedford]] and [[Bletchley]], the line grew and at its peak was an important artery between [[Oxford]] and [[Cambridge]], leading it to be known as the [[Varsity line]]. However, changing traffic patterns led to rationalisation across the route, with the extensions to both Oxford and Cambridge succumbing to closure and much of the line being singled. Fenny Stratford became a single platform station, barely long enough to accommodate a two-car [[diesel multiple unit]]. | '''Fenny Stratford''' is a single-platform station situated on the [[Marston Vale line]].
