The run round loop and sidings of the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway. The line used to continue to Watlington, although the original intention was to continue the construction on to Wallingford and thus provide a through route joining the GWR main line at Cholsey. The line from Princes Risborough to Watlington was closed to passengers in 1957 and from 1961 until 1989 it only survived to serve the now defunct cement works just out of the picture to the left. It is now operated as a heritage railway.
