The 'Marlow Donkey' at Cookham

A southbound train from Marlow and Bourne End arrives at Cookham - photo taken from the level-crossing just north of the station. Notice the rather overgrown state of the track. The service along this branch-line from Maidenhead is traditionally known as the 'Marlow Donkey', and somehow escaped the knackers in the 1960's, when many a branch line fell to Dr Beeching's axe.
