I was so intrigued I investigated where it began and ended.
The road runs north from the A41 a few miles north west of
Waddesdon. (South of the A41 the railway route is still
abandoned) The road ends more or less at the old junction
with the Great Central Line where there is now an industrial
estate; and I don't mean trading estate or retail park. The
only vehicles using the new road are heavy goods trucks.


Was it a private road or was their access from the A41?

rural roads. It may be that the old idea of converting some
abandoned railway route to roads was a good idea after all.


Don't forget the "cheap" busways some councils love, a lot of which have
been built on old railway lines.
