The branch lines of Oxfordshire were not so numerous as those of
some other counties, but they carried a wide variety of locomotives
and rolling stock, and included specialist lines such as those for
Morris Cowley, as well as branches of the Great Western Railway.
Many of the lines centred on the county town, Oxford, and though a
number were short, some, such as those to Fairford and Bletchley,
were longer. Most of the lines were rural, but some formed part of
a through route, such as the Cheltenham-Banbury,
Paddington-Thame-Oxford, Paddington-Birmingham and Oxford-Cambridge
lines. Among those lines which have rarely been reviewed in
publications are the Bicester Military Railway, the Wroxton Quarry
Railway and the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway. All
Oxfordshire's branch lines are described here in an entertaining
and informative text that brings their history to life. A brief
account is given of the county's main railway routes before each
branch is looked at in detail. The book is illustrated with over
190 black and white photographs, maps and ephemera which capture
the history of Oxfordshire's railways. Carefully researched and
attractively presented, The Branch Lines of Oxfordshire will appeal
to railway enthusiasts, modellers, local historians and anyone
interested in Britain's industrial heritage.
