Woburn Sands railway station serves the villages of Woburn Sands and Wavendon in the borough of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England. The station is on the Marston Vale Line between Bedford and Bletchley. The station is served by local trains to Bletchley and Bedford using Class 150/1 and Class 153 diesel multiple units operated by London Midland.
Station building and signal box[]

Woburn Sands has a black and white "cottage" station building, one of four of the same design that are unique to this line. Two of the others are at Fenny Stratford and Millbrook (Bedfordshire).
Woburn Sands recently lost its Victorian signal box to the development and modernisation of the route. Until 2004 the line was controlled by staffed signal boxes located at various stations; but the entire line is now controlled from one signalling centre at Ridgmont.
Services[]
At present an hourly service operates each way, operated by either a Class 150 or Class 153 DMU. There is usually no service on a Sunday.
