The Chilterns consist of a band of chalk hills to the north-west of
London stretching from Oxfordshire to Hertfordshire. It so happened
that these hills were directly on the routes of five major
companies' routes to the North and Midlands. These were: the Great
Northern, the Midland, the London & North Western, the Great
Central and the Great Western. As well as the main lines there was
a large number of branches, now nearly all closed. To complete the
picture, to the north of the Chilterns was the Oxford to Cambridge
transversal route, part of which remains open, and part of which is
being actively restored. This book relates the story of these lines
and their branches, through their construction and operation, the
closures of the 1960s, to the situation today. Illustrated
throughout with historic and modern photographs, maps, diagrams and
timetables.
