Watlington railway station in Oxfordshire was the terminus of the Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway and opened in 1872. Watlington station was not in Watlington itself, but in Pyrton about a mile north east from centre of Watlington. The line was always single track. The facilities at Watlington station included a stone-built passenger building, a goods shed, and locomotive and carriage sheds. The line was projected to be extended to Wallingford, where it would complete a cross-country line between Cholsey and Princes Risborough. Due to financial difficulties the Watlington - Wallingford section was never built. British Railways closed the Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway to passengers in 1957〔Oppitz, 2000, page 22〕 and to goods in 1961. Remains of the buildings exist, heavily overgrown, on private land. == See also == * List of closed railway stations in Britain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Watlington railway station, Oxfordshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
