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.
Quainton Road Station is now home to Buckinghamshire
Railway Centre. Ticket Michael Stewart |
