 Quainton Road railway station was opened in 1868 in under @-@ developed countryside near Quainton , in the English county of Buckinghamshire , 44 miles ( 71 km ) from London . Built by the Aylesbury and Buckingham Railway , it was the result of pressure from the 3rd Duke of Buckingham to route the railway near his home at Wotton House and to open a railway station at the nearest point to it . Serving a relatively unpopulated area , Quainton Road was a crude railway station , described as " extremely primitive " .
