View eastward, towards Buckingham, Verney Junction and Bletchley; ex-LNW Bletchley - Banbury line. The station was closed to passengers on 2/1/61 - less than three months before this photograph, in spite of an early experiment from 1956 with a single-unit Diesel railcar running between Buckingham and Banbury and calling also at two new Halts, which proved to be a success. The service was then cut back to Bletchley - Buckingham only (with the railcar) until 7/9/64. (Goods traffic on the branch ceased completely west of Buckingham on 2/12/63, from Bletchley on 5/12/66).
