Partial Closure
British Rail closed the line between Bourne End and High Wycombe in May 1970. Trains are still run between Maidenhead and Marlow, but in recent years concerns have been expressed that the railway may have to be run voluntarily due to a lack of funding. There was local opposition to the creation of a community rail partnership because of fears that this would isolate the line from the main railway network.

Famous quotes containing the word partial:
“And meanwhile we have gone on living,
Living and partly living,
Picking together the pieces,
Gathering faggots at nightfall,
Building a partial shelter,
For sleeping and eating and drinking and laughter.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
