A 501 unit was the first train to stop at the new Watford stadium (for Vicarage Road) on the Croxley Green branch
Local gen snippets, Swanbourne’s stirring!
The Chancellor’s recent Autumn gloom statement had one bit of good news locally is that the Bletchley-Oxford (and BY-Aylesbury/HW) routes are earmarked for investment. Since the last trains ran in 1993 there has been a lot of hot air expressed over this line being reopened, lets hope this is more definite as it should never been closed to passengers anyway!
That’s all folks!
