 The last scheduled passenger train on the Brill Tramway left Quainton Road in the afternoon of 30 November 1935 . Hundreds of people gathered , and a number of members of the Oxford University Railway Society travelled from Oxford in an effort to buy the last ticket . Accompanied by firecrackers and fog signals , the train ran to Brill , where the passengers posed for a photograph . Late that evening , a two @-@ coach staff train pulled out of Brill , accompanied by a band bearing a white flag and playing Auld Lang Syne . The train stopped at each station , picking up the staff , documents and valuables from each . At 11 @.@ 45 pm the train arrived at Quainton Road , greeted by hundreds of locals and railway enthusiasts . At the stroke of midnight , the rails connecting the Tramway to the main line were ceremonially severed .
