Nevertheless having grown up near a town (Aylesbury) with fine rail

at the leftovers that Aylesbury has for it rail link today.

This is particularly strange in so far as Aylesbury was part of an area
that was expected to see, and did see, expanded housing and employment
as companies and individual were encouraged to relocate away from
London in the 1960s and 1970s.


This was typical of planning in the period, which assumed universal car
ownership. After all, we all watched Perry Mason, didn't we?
