Summary edit

Description
English: Railway line to Quainton Road Station 3. This single track railway line, which was once part of the Great Central Railway, the last main line twin track railway to be built, is now used by freight trains from Brentford in London carrying containerised household waste to the landfill site at Calvert, see 1048292, which is 6.5 km behind the camera. Here looking south-east, the road bridge in the distance is for the C road between Westcott and Quainton. Beyond the bridge can just be seen Quainton Road station, where the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is based, http://www.bucksrailcentre.org/about_us.html. The preserved railway operates short stretches of track within the 25 acre centre, but there are no passenger services between Quainton Road and the town of Aylesbury, which is 9km further on.
