37411 Caerphilly Castle passes the site of Waddesdon Manor station in near darkness with the Pathfinder Tours 'Bard'n'Birch' railtour on 17 February 2007, now running as the 1Z39 17:00 Quainton Road to Bristol Temple Meads. The bridge at Quainton Road can just be seen in the distance, and the headlight of the train could be seen during the tour's lengthy photo stop, while all the time it was getting steadily darker. Waddesdon Manor station closed as long ago as 1936, probably due to the fact that it is in the middle of nowhere, well over a mile from the nearest village. |
