Train ticket question

Golden_Glow90

I am looking to travel from Milton Keynes to London in December. It’s going to cost £30. However, there’s nowhere to park for more than 24 hours as the station car park is closed. Bletchley is the next station on the way and has decent parking but if I go from Bletchley, it’s going to cost £70! No idea why as it’s the next stop. Can I buy a ticket from Milton Keynes to London but get on at Bletchley? Or would it not let me through the barrier?

Get the train from Bletchley to MK?

At Milton Keynes in Addition to the Station Car there also council run surface car parks and and private car park, look for Indigo Car Park, sorry can’t post link.

The only note I can see that some of the surface car park is closed , so if you want to use MK there is other car parks.

There is lot of different tickets from MK to London , due different ticket for different train operating companies. If you want me to check which MK to London ticket is valid for starting journey at Bletchley would need to know when you are traveling.

Sorry, I think you've got this wrong. Could you have been looking at First Class or something from Bletchley - it should always be cheaper than MK otherwise?
I'm not aware of any MK tickets that prohibit break of journey (there are no Advances) so you could "start short" at Bletchley if you wanted.
