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:
“The only coöperation which is commonly possible is exceedingly partial and superficial; and what little true coöperation there is, is as if it were not, being a harmony inaudible to men. If a man has faith, he will coöperate with equal faith everywhere; if he has not faith, he will continue to live like the rest of the world, whatever company he is joined to.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
