New steam rail interchange opens in Princes Risborough

[editor]

The Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway is now the nearest mainline connected heritage railway to London, so I'm going to have to check it out soon!

Anyone been?

A new interchange on a heritage rail line has opened in Princes Risborough, allowing passengers to take a steam train from Chinnor and then board a 21st century train into London.

The work was funded by a £75,000 government grant, a private benefactor, and donations made over 25 years.

The line last offered a passenger service in August 1957.

Transport Minister Nusrat Ghani said: "We are hugely fortunate to have a thriving heritage rail scene in this country, supported by thousands of volunteers such as those working on the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway."

Awesome. Really improved the Bluebell Railway when E Grinstead was reached.

Not been to chinnor, at least I don't think so. Closest mainline connected railway to London. It's shocking if I haven't been. The watercress must be a close call I would have thought. It's certainly the easiest and quickest for me.
