Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway
The Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway was a railway branch line between Watlington and Princes Risborough which remained operational for over 88 years between 1872 and 1961.
==History==
In the 1860s the Wallingford and Watlington Railway had been planned to link the Great Western Main Line at Cholsey and the Wycombe Railway at Princes Risborough, serving the towns of Wallingford and Watlington ''en route''. The W&WR had opened between Cholsey and Wallingford in 1866, but had then failed to raise enough capital to complete the remainder of its intended route.〔Oppitz, 2000, p.20〕
In 1869 the Watlington & Princes Risborough Railway Company was founded independently of the W&WR. It opened between Thame Junction on the Wycombe Railway and Watlington on 15 August 1872. The line was not commercially successful as an independent company, and the Great Western Railway took it over on 1 July 1883. In 1927 several sidings were added south of Chinnor railway station to serve Chinnor cement works.〔Oppitz, 2000, p.21〕
