![]() That would be interesting. I was out and about the GCR this summer to get some pictures of various stretches to include in a slide show I put together entitled "Watkin to Prescott" which sketched the history of the MSLR and the GCR but focussed on the Joint Line from Grendon Underwood as far as Gerrards Cross, Tesco and all that. At Quainton I tried to find the exact point where the GCR joined the Met (formerly A&B) just west of Quainton Road but failed. Lots of other bits of the A&B to be found but that interesting spot seems to have been thoroughly obliterated - or have you found it? Guy Gorton The location still exists: http://tinyurl.com/9b6hx http://www.pendar.pwp.blueyonder.co....ine_1.html#GCR The bridge there still goes over the GCR (obviously) but has been filled in where the Met line ran beneath it. Interestingly, there is a road sign on the approach to the bridge that warns of a 'failed road'. Perhaps the road collapsed into the Met line space rather than it being deliberately filled in (or the filling in left something to be desired). Many thanks to everyone who replied to this post. |
