East of Verney Junction
On the left is the disused Metropolitan Line as it curves left to Verney Junction. The line ran from this station to Baker Street, London. On the right is the disused Varsity Line (Oxford to Cambridge) which was joined by the Metropolitan line just beyond this photo on the approach to Verney Junction. East West Rail will reopen the line between Oxford and Bletchley with twin tracks by December 2017. It is also scheduled to reopen the line from Aylesbury to Claydon at the same time. Trains will then run from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes as well as between other destinations. More details http://www.eastwestrail.org.uk

Verney Road approaching former railway bridge
In the dip, the road passed under the former Metropolitan Line route from Quainton Road to Verney Junction. This finally closed for freight in 1947, although here used as a long siding until 1961. The lorry with a digger is at the start of a farm track that bends up onto and along the old trackbed.
