There is ample free car parking at the DoubleTree by Hilton (you need to enter your reg number into the iPads in reception or the pre-dinner drinks) and National Express run services to the Milton Keynes Coachway.
You can also keep up to date via the Avanti West Coast website here and National Rail here.
