Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Quainton: Railway line to the Calvert landfill site This line was opened in 1868 by the Aylesbury and Buckingham Railway and absorbed into the Metropolitan Railway in 1891. It eventually closed for passenger traffic in 1963 but is still open today for freight transfers of household waste from London to the Calvert landfill site.
The original station arrangements here were that Station Road crossed the line by a level crossing with the original Quaintonroad station on the north-west side of the level crossing. However in 1896 the Metropolitan Railway rebuilt the station to the south-east of the level crossing with the crossing being replaced by the current bridge from which this photo was taken. While the bridge was built over the former station the rough land to the left in this photograph would have housed the end of the platform and a couple of sidings. |
