BANBURY TO VERNEY JUNCTION (LNWR)
7th April 2006

Opened in 1850 by the Buckinghamshire Railway, this line was worked from the outset by the LNWR who later absorbed the company. In addition to Verney Junction there were stations at Padbury, Buckingham, Fullwell & Westbury, Brackley, Farthinghoe and Banbury Merton Street. The line was experimentally worked by Derby lightweight railcars as part of the 1955 Modernisation Plan. New halts for the railcar service were opened at Radclive and Water Stratford. The experiment was not a success and Banbury - Buckingham closed to passengers in 1961. The Buckingham - Verney Junction section closed to passengers in 1964. The line closed to all traffic in 1966. Thanks to Greg Scott for working out the bridge number sequence.
