Jumpseater, thanks for posting the link to the interesting article on the tramway. Not that long ago i would not have given such an article a second glance but now as I sit in the air conditioned comfort of a place in the sun some distance from this corner of Bucks, a nostalgic interest in such matters has overcome me! I have only been away 5 weeks but already I had forgotten that Waddesdon was east of the station not west as I said in my earlier post. My excuse for not getting out more is that it is too damn hot.
Beags thanks for the link to the old OS maps - such things have always interested me and I can now explore the area on foot with a different perspective next time I am back in blighty.
