Swanbourne station, platforms, buildings and Station House have all been swept away to leave this muddy area where it all once was. Contractors for East West Railway have moved on also, so all is ready for the next stage - laying new tracks for the new express services from Milton Keynes to Oxford and London. The station was opened by the Buckinghamshire Railway in 1850 and closed by BR in 1968. The house was occupied until recently by an ex railwayman who looked after the old station. A new station was not proposed for Swanbourne, but a new one is being built at Winslow.
