BOURNE END [Marlow Road]

17th November 2005

A typical Wycombe Railway station on the fomer broad gauge line between Maidenhead and High Wycombe. The line was absorbed by the GWR in 1867 & later converted to standard gauge. It was the junction for the short branch to Marlow. The line between Bourne End and High Wycombe was closed in 1970 and trains now reverse here on their way to Marlow. Upon privatisation in 1996 the station became part of the Thames Trains network. It is now operated by First Great Western. CRS code: BNE
