This location is over thirty miles from London but is

actually a disused underground station! Waddesdon Manor station was opened by the Metropolitan Railway on 01.01.1897 as part of a branch line that ran deep into rural Buckinghamshire. In 1897 the station was rebuilt to mainline standards with a large two-story station building built on the platform seen here. A substantial latticed footbridge linked this platform to the up one to the right that has now been removed. The station saw few passengers and was closed 06.07.36 but the line remained busy operated now by the GCR. Gradual rationalisation took place with the line now singled carrying regular freight to Calvert and other occasional charters. This location could well be changing again in the future with the possibility of HS2 passing this spot, but, I won't hold my breath!
