This disused and overgrown single track railway line was once an alternative route to the London terminus at Marylebone of the Great Central Railway, which when it opened in 1899 was the last main line twin track railway to be built, see Image Until the mid 90s this line was used for freight. The brick and girder bridge carries the C road that runs between Kingswood on the A41 and the Greatmoor-Quainton road.
