    Today we will explore the Marlow branch which once ran into High Wycombe until 1970.

    The Marlow branch line is a single track railway line in England, between Maidenhead station in Berkshire and Bourne End and Marlow stations in Buckinghamshire. It is 7 miles 10 chains (11.5 km) in length.[1] Passenger services are operated by Great Western Railway using Class 165 and Class 166 diesel trains. The line connects to the Great Western Main Line at Maidenhead; it uses a section of the former Wycombe Railway line to High Wycombe together with the former Great Marlow Railway.

    Bourne End Station. Today trains reverse here for Marlow or Maidenhead but prior to 1970 the line continued to High Wycombe behind the camera.
