 In 1933 the Metropolitan Railway was taken into public ownership to become the Metropolitan line of the London Passenger Transport Board 's London Underground , including Quainton Road . The LPTB aimed to move away from freight operations , and saw no way in which the rural parts of the MR could be made into viable passenger routes . In 1935 the Brill Tramway was closed . From 1936 Underground trains were withdrawn north of Aylesbury , leaving the London and North Eastern Railway ( successor to the GCR ) as the only operator using the station , although Underground services were restored for a short period in the 1940s . In 1963 stopping passenger services were withdrawn but fast passenger trains continued to pass through . In 1966 the line was closed to passenger traffic and local goods trains ceased using the station . The line through the station was singled and used by occasional freight trains only .
