View southward, towards buffer-stops. This terminus of the ex-London & North Western branch from Cheddington was already closed to passengers (from 2/2/53), but remained for goods until 2/12/63. However, the RCTS (Railway Correspondence & Travel Society) were able to include the branch in their complex 'Buckinghamshire Rail Tour' of 10/10/54, the motive power being ex-London & North Western 'Coal Tank' 2F 0-6-2T No. 58887.
