SP7319 : Dismantled railway to Quainton Road 2
taken 16 years ago, near to Quainton, Buckinghamshire, England
Dismantled railway to Quainton Road 2
This is the trackbed of the Aylesbury & Buckingham Railway built in the 1860s and which ran from Aylesbury to Verney Junction, see
SP7319 : Dismantled railway to Quainton Road 1.
Here looking south-east, the railway ran on an embankment through farmland. Ahead the line of the railway slowly curves to the left so as to join about 400m away, what was then the Great Central Railway that ran between Sheffield, Nottingham and London Marylebone, but which is now a single track line in infrequent use, see
SP7220 : Railway line near Doddershall House. This line can just be seen in the gap in the trees to the right where there is a simple crossing.
