Level Crossing - Still There
For some reason, nostalgia, economy, laziness or whatever, this short length of the original train track has been left here in the road years after the rest of the line has been dismantled and turned into a cycleway.

Bledlow Railway Station, Bucks
This railway station in Sandpit Lane was situated on the railway line between Princes Risborough and Oxford which closed in early January, 1963. Following closure, it then became a Bed and Breakfast establishment "The Old Station" although that has now closed. The track was lifted some while ago and has since been converted into the Phoenix cycle trail. Its postcode is HP27 9QQ.

Former Bledlow Station at Old Ford
This was Bledlow Station on the Thame to Princes Risborough railway, with a level crossing. The disused railway is now a cycle track, which is diverted around this short section which is a private house and garden.

Bledlow: Sandpit Lane disused level crossing
The former Princes Risborough to Oxford railway line crossed Sandpit Lane at this point. The railway was opened in 1863, but the through route was closed in 1967, leaving open only the section, including this level crossing, from the junction with the Watlington branch line to Thame to serve the oil depot there. In 1991 that section was closed and the track subsequently lifted, apart from a few odd places, this level crossing site being one of them. The former Bledlow station is immediately to the left.

Phoenix Trail Seating
As befits a leisure facility like the Phoenix Trail cycleway, a lot of attention has been paid to sitting down as well as taking exercise.
Designer seating, sometimes quite elaborate and artistic, has been installed at regular intervals along the route.
