  • A ride down the rideable sections of the old High Wycombe to Bourne End railway.
    The railway was last used by freight services back in 1966, and the final passenger service was in 1970.
    Many areas of the line have since been built on however there are still these sections that are accessible.

    Worst commentary I’ve heard in a long time. No idea where he was for most of the time. Mumbling. I worked this line many times in steam days and was looking forward to some nostalgia, disappointed!
