Verney Junction railway station
Verney Junction was an isolated station at a four-way railway junction in Buckinghamshire, open from 1868 to 1968; a junction existed through the site without a station from 1851.
The first line to open on the site was the Buckinghamshire Railway, which opened a line from Bletchley to Banbury in 1850; a line branching west to Oxford followed in 1851. This formed an east-west link from Oxford to Bletchley and Cambridge passing through Verney Junction and this, known as the Varsity line, became the busiest line through the site, leaving the line to Banbury as a relatively quiet branch. The last line to reach the station was the Aylesbury and Buckingham Railway (later owned by London Underground) towards Aylesbury and London, at which point a station was opened on the site. Soon after the Buckinghamshire Railway became absorbed into the London and North Western Railway.
The lines south to Aylesbury and north to Banbury closed to passengers in 1948 and 1964, but the station remained open until the Oxford-Cambridge line closed to passengers in 1968. The track was singled and then mothballed, but a disused track has remained through the station site. The line between Oxford and Bletchley is to be reopened by 2020, but because of its isolated location Verney Junction will not be reopened.
While never very busy, Verney Junction was an local interchange point for a century from which excursions as far as Ramsgate could be booked. Situated from Baker Street, the station is one of London's disused Underground stations and, although it never carried heavy traffic, the Aylesbury line was important in the expansion of the Metropolitan Railway into what became Metro-land.
