Notes: The Metropolitan Railway bought the failing Aylesbury
& Buckingham Railway in 1891 extending their line from Aylesbury
to Verney Junction via Quainton Road. The Manchester Sheffield
& Lincolnshire Railway (renamed the Great Central in 1897)
extended its main line south to meet the Metropolitan at Quainton
Road and then ran alongside |
the latter to Finchley Road, where
it diverged west to a separate terminus at Marylebone. Following
a dispute between the two companies in 1902 administration of
the line was trasferred to a joint committee.
When the Metropolitan Railway became part of London Transport
in 1933 it was quickly decided that services north of Aylesbury
could no longer be justified and within a few years they had all
been closed.
The station was originally known as Grandborough Road and was
renamed Granborough Road on 6.10.1920
Quainton Road Station is now home to Buckinghamshire
Railway Centre. Ticket Michael Stewart
