The old Station House at Verney Junction

The LNWR line from Bletchley to Oxford opened in 1850 and was joined by the Aylesbury & Buckingham Railway in 1868 when Verney Junction Station opened. At the time the station was sited in the middle of a field and was only used as a changing point between the two lines. The Station House dates from 1870 as the sign over the door proclaims. Verney Junction has always been only a hamlet with station, a hotel and a few houses dotted around and seems destined to remain so. No station is planned here for the East West Railway, the nearest being the new station at Winslow to the east.
