Verney Junction diversion
"Peter Masson" wrote in message ... "Jack Taylor" wrote in message ... Verney Junction diversion "subterraneo" wrote in message . uk... Had an email from a Geoff Cole about a Verney Junction diversion in the 70s. Perhaps someone knows the date of this and could help (him) out? Verney Junction was long gone by then. I suspect that you mean Claydon L&NE Junction (where the Aylesbury line diverges from the Oxford line). I do recall reading about this myself so I'll try and ferret out some information, if I can find it! At that time the line between Bletchley and Claydon LNE Junction was in use for freight, and the line from Claydon to Aylesbury still is (see the current thread on uk.r entitled Aylesbury Parkway North). I last travelled the Bletchley - Claydon (- Bicester - Oxford) line on a special train on a Network Day around 1990. By then it was not possible for a train going that way to call at Bletchley, as the only access was via the flyover. About 8 years ago there were Christmas Shopping services from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes, IIRC. Nick |

Started from Marylebone via the Joint Line and plcked us up at Gerrards Cross. Not a fast journey, though! Can't remember what the shops were like. Guy Gorton |

Guy Gorton I did that trip sometime back in the 80's but I got on at Quainton Road, didn't bother with the shops though as someone collected us in a car. These days I work in MK.................. G |
