Why did the Metropolitan Railway go to Verney Junction?

England and France also share a border.
Can't see both sides building right up to the edge of it though.
Didn't someone build a rail tunnel up to the border, from both sides?
Actually IIRC the tunnel took the border with it.
"Where would the border be?"
"What's wrong with where it is at the moment?"
"The three mile limit... Who would control the bit in the middle?"
In that case, unless the remark was made about the Channel Tunnel, I'm
not sure how France and England can share a border given the three mile
limit.
