replace=noneGranborough Road railway station was a station serving the village of
Granborough , to the north ofQuainton inBuckinghamshire , England.The station was first served in 1868 and closed in 1936.
It was the third station north of Aylesbury on the section of the
Metropolitan Railway between Aylesbury andVerney Junction that was abandoned when the Metropolitan Railway became theMetropolitan Line in 1936 when it was subsumed into London Transport.London Underground continued to run services as far as Aylesbury until 1961 after which point the terminus became Amersham.Whilst open, this station was accessed via a branch line off the former
Great Central Main Line with the junction being just to the north Quainton Road. The branch line continued through Winslow Road and ended at a terminating platform atVerney Junction .Today very little remains of this station, the
permanent way between Quainton Road and Verney Junction having long ago been lifted. The site is now a farmer's field and although bit of platform does remain, the track bed itself is now a route forpylon s.Because of its association with the
Metropolitan Line this station is considered to be one of theClosed London Underground stations although it is over 30 miles from London and is not underground.External links
