Bourne End Railway Station - Partial Closure

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:

    We were soon in the smooth water of the Quakish Lake,... and we had our first, but a partial view of Ktaadn, its summit veiled in clouds, like a dark isthmus in that quarter, connecting the heavens with the earth.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
