replace=noneWinslow Road railway station was a station serving the village of
East Claydon (near Winslow), to the north ofQuainton inBuckinghamshire , England. (Winslow itself also had a station simply called "Winslow" on British Rail'sVarsity Line .)The station was first served in
1868 and closed in1946 .It was the fourth 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 in1946 when it was subsumed into London Transport.London Underground continued to run services as far as Aylesbury until1961 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 Granborough Road then to this station, before ending at a terminating platform atVerney Junction .Today almost nothing remains of this station, the
permanent way between Quainton Road and Verney Junction having long ago been lifted. The station has been demolished and the station masters house is now private. All that remains of the station is the elevating end of one of the platforms. The space between what were the platforms is now roofed and used as a boarding kennel.Because of its association with the
Metropolitan Line this station is considered to be one of theClosed London Underground stations although it is over 40 miles from London and is not underground.External links
