Map of a railway line running roughly southwest to northeast. Long sidings run off the railway line at various places. Two other north-south railway lines cross the line, but do not connect with it. At the northeastern terminus of the line, marked "Quainton Road", the line meets three other lines running to Rugby & Leicester, Verney Junction, and Aylesbury & London respectively. The southwestern terminus, marked "Brill", is some distance north of the town of Brill, which is the only town on the map. A station on one of the other lines, marked "Brill and Ludgersall", is even further from the town of Brill.

Oxford & Aylesbury Tramroad

Railways in and around the Aylesbury Vale, 1894. The proposed new route from Aylesbury to Oxford via Brill was significantly shorter than the existing route via Verney Junction.[note 1]

Railways in and around the Aylesbury Vale, 1910–35. Two of the new routes crossed the Tramway, but neither was connected to it. The Tramway's only significant passenger markets at Brill and Wotton were both served by stations on the new lines.[note 1]

Closure

Small wooden railway station with a single rail track. The platform is considerably taller at one end than at the other. Aside from a small wooden building on the platform, the only other visible building is a single farmhouse.
Waddesdon Road station (formerly Waddesdon) during its brief time as a London Underground station. After the 1894 rebuilding, four of the six stations were of similar design. Each station's single platform had a raised section, built in 1898 to serve Metropolitan Railway passenger cars. The relaying of the track had replaced the longitudinal design with transverse sleepers. The railway had not stimulated growth in the area, and after over 60 years the stations remained isolated buildings surrounded by farmland.

After closure

A straight muddy path leads through a small clearing filled with farming equipment.
