Northbound train pulling into Bletchley railway station

24 August 2010

The shop returns?

Is it about to reopen?
The shop at Bletchley
railway station
Is Bletchley about to get its station shop back?  Pucciono's closed the shutters for the last time over the Whitsun bank holiday weekend (see Bletchley Station Shop), so passengers have had to go elsewhere for their newspaper and early morning refreshments... 

BUT

...passing through the station on my way home this evening there was a wonderful sight:
  • The shutters were partially open
  • There were lights on in the shop behind
  • Voices could clearly be heard, and
  • By the looks of the furniture and the equipment that was in view, refurbishment is well underway (and dare I say it, maybe even complete?)

People like me who get an early train have had to wait until they reach their destination before they can get a paper (few local shops being open before 7am).  It will be a great day when I can return to reading the sport and news (in that order!) on the 07:00 to London.

  1. The shop was open this morning. No papers (they won't be selling those for another week), but the set-up looks good and the people behind the counter were wearing the sort of smiles normally only seen on Alan Sugar's 'The Apprentice' programme :-)

    Commuting from Bletchley to Euston just took a distinct turn for the better...
