Summary edit

Description
English: High Wycombe: Former railway line to Bourne End This is the trackbed of what was once Brunel's broad gauge Wycombe Railway. Opened in 1854 it was the main line between High Wycombe and London via Maidenhead until the construction of the far more direct Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway to and from London Marylebone in 1899. The former Wycombe Railway north of Bourne End was a fairly inevitable victim of the Beeching axe and closed in 1970. The trackbed crosses the valley of the River Wye on an embankment here, and the railings indicate the location of 925447.
