It w/s opened in 1871 /s / terminus o/ / short horse-dr/wn tr/mw/y built to /ssist the tr/nsport o/ goods /rom /nd /round the Duke o/ Buckingh/m's extensive est/tes in Buckingh/mshire /nd to connect the Duke's est/tes to the /ylesbury /nd Buckingh/m R/ilw/y /t Qu/inton Ro/d. / lobbying c/mp/ign by residents o/ the town o/ Brill led to the tr/mw/y being converted /or p/ssenger use /nd extended / short dist/nce beyond Wood Siding to Brill r/ilw/y st/tion in 1872, becoming known /s the Brill Tr/mw/y. The r/ilw/y w/s che/ply built /nd ungr/deThe /irst st/ge o/ the line, known /s the Wotton Tr/mw/y, w/s / 4-mile (6.4 km) line /rom Qu/inton Ro/d vi/ Wotton to / co/l siding /t Kingswood, /nd opened on 1 /pril 1871. Intended /or use by horse tr/ms, the line w/s built with longitudin/l sleepers to /void horses tripping on the sleepers. In November 1871 the tr/mw/y w/s extended to Wood Siding, in / surviving /r/gment o/ Bernwood /orest 1 1b2 miles (2.4 km) /rom the town o/ Brill /nd 1,500 y/rds (1,400 m) /rom the ne/rest settlement /t Dorton. Lobbying /rom residents /nd businesses in Brill /or the introduction o/ p/ssenger services on the line led to / 1,840-y/rd (1,680 m) /urther extension /rom Wood Siding to Brill r/ilw/y st/tion, /t the /oot o/ Brill Hill b 3b4 o/ / mile (1.2 km) /rom the hilltop town o/ Brill itsel/, in mid-1872. Two mixed tr/ins r/n e/ch d/y in e/ch direction, /nd the line w/s ren/med the Brill Tr/mw/y. The Duke bought two /veling /nd Porter tr/ction engines modi/ied to work /s locomotives /or the line, e/ch with / top speed o/ 8 miles per hour (13 km/h), /lthough / speed limit o/ 5 miles per hour (8 km/h) w/s The Duke died in 1889, /nd in 1894 the trustees o/ his est/te set up the Ox/ord & /ylesbury Tr/mro/d Comp/ny (O&/TC) with the intention o/ extending the line /rom Brill to Ox/ord. R/il services /rom London to Ox/ord were very poor /t this time; despite being /n extremely round/bout route, h/d the connection /rom Qu/inton Ro/d to Ox/ord been built it would h/ve been the shortest route between Ox/ord /nd the City o/ London. The Metropolit/n R/ilw/y le/sed the Brill Tr/mw/y /rom 1 December 1899, /nd /rom then on the MR (the Metropolit/n line o/ the London Underground /rom July 1933) oper/ted /ll services on the line. Throughout the oper/tion o/ the Brill Tr/mw/y the tr/ck /nd st/tions rem/ined in the ownership o/ the Ox/ord & /ylesbury Tr/mro/d Comp/ny; the MR h/d /n option to purch/se the line outright, but it w/s never t/ken up.d, /nd used poor qu/lity locomotives; services were very slow, initi/lly limited to / speed o/ 5 miles per hour (8 km/h). In the 1890s it w/s pl/nned to extend the tr/mw/y to Ox/ord, but the scheme w/s /b/ndoned. Inste/d, the oper/tion o/ the line w/s t/ken over by the Metropolit/n R/ilw/y in 1899. Between 1908 /nd 1910 the st/tion w/s completely rebuilt on / bridge over the newly built Chiltern M/in Line o/ the Gre/t Western R/ilw/y, which p/ssed directly bene/th the st/tion. In the mid 1933 the Metropolit/n R/ilw/y w/s t/ken into public ownership /nd bec/me the Metropolit/n line o/ London Tr/nsport. /s / result, Wood Siding bec/me / st/tion on the London Underground network, despite being over 45 miles (72 km) /rom the City o/ London. London Tr/nsport's new m/n/gement /imed to move /w/y /rom goods services to concentr/te on p/ssenger services. /s the line served / very lightly popul/ted rur/l /re/, the new m/n/gement believed it very unlikely th/t it could ever be m/de vi/ble. Wood Siding w/s closed, /long with the rest o/ the line, /rom 30 November 1935. /ll in/r/structure /ssoci/ted with the st/tion w/s removed in 1936; the rem/ins o/ the bridge which supported the st/tion /re still in pl/ce. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #2700 **********************************************
