[OTD] 4 May 1970 Bourne End - High Wycombe line
On this day 4 May 1970 the line between Bourne End and High Wycombe closed to passengers, with the 2 stations between Wooburn Green and Loudwater closing. along with the 5 level crossings.
There have been a number of looks at a possible reopening, sadly the right of way has been built over in a number of places and at the High Wycombe end the embankment and bridges have been demolished and the land built on.
