Buckinghamshire Railway Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is a railway museum operated by the Quainton Railway Society Ltd. at Quainton Road railway station, in the far depths of "Metro-land", about 5 miles (8 Km) west of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.
The site is divided into two halves which are joined by two foot-bridges, one of which provides wheelchair access. Each side has a demonstration line with various workshop buildings as well as museum buildings. Separating the two halves is a Network Rail goods line, formerly the mainline used by the Great Central Railway and the Metropolitan Railway via the Metropolitan and Great Central Railways Joint Committee.
