from the ticket hall to the pedestrian bridge, with lifts and stairs down to each platform. Train arrivals and departures are announced as well as being displayed on VDUs. There are ticket barriers controlling access to the platforms. There are carriage sidings to the north of the station (along with the Bletchley train maintenance depot). A little to the south, the Bletchley Flyover (, under reconstruction) crosses over the main lines to carry East West Rail from Bedford towards Oxford. The main buildings and station entrance are located on the west (Bletchley Park) side of the complex, off Sherwood Drive. An eastern entrance from central Bletchley (see below) is planned and funded. East West route As well as being on the national north–south West Coast Main Line, Bletchley is on the former Cambridge–Oxford Varsity line, which closed in 1967. The section between Bletchley and Bedford (the Marston Vale line) survived the closure. However, a major project called East West Rail is underway to rebuild and reopen the route to the west of Bletchley to Bicester Village via Winslow and ; the line to Oxford has already been rebuilt. Eventually, full services through to Cambridge and the East of England are planned. East West Rail "East West Rail" is a major project to establish a strategic railway connecting East Anglia with Central, Southern and Western England. In particular, it plans to build (or rebuild) a line linking Oxford and Cambridge via Bicester, Milton Keynes (at Bletchley) and Bedford. The OxfordBedford aspect of the plan reuses the route of the former Varsity Line, extensively re-engineered. There is a funded, scheduled, programme in progress to re-open the BletchleyOxford route to passenger and freight traffic via Bicester by 2025 and a partially funded plan to re-open the entire route between Oxford and Cambridge. A key element of the plan is to extend Bletchley station up to the flyover and build high level platforms (see below) so that passengers may transfer between the lines. The new platforms are to be specified as suitable for trains no longer than four cars. The Bletchley Flyover from Oxford crosses over the WCML and by-passes the original Bletchley station, leading east towards Bedford or north to join the WCML at a junction north of the current (low-level) station. It was built in 1959 as part of the 1955 British Rail Modernisation Plan. From April 2020 to January 2021, the
