Summary[edit]

Description
English: Dismantled railway to Quainton Road 6. Looking south-east, the wooden fence marks the location of a former road bridge over the former Aylesbury & Buckingham Railway built in the 1860s, see 963232. When the bridge was removed, the gap was filled in, and the trackbed now ends at the bottom of the photo.

To the right off camera there is however a bridge over a single track railway line, which was originally the Great Central Railway, see 1050903. This line is behind the thick hedge on the right. This photograph shows the two bridges side by side when the railway was being built, http://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/map/getobjectmap.php?rnum=L2853&mapid=472215.jpg&mlsref=1060&cmn=Waddesdon&pn=1&mp=1&all=no.

After the bridge, the railway joined the Great Central Railway, see 930184, and then went on to Quainton Road station 700m ahead.
