<b>Site of former Akeman Street station, 1991.</b><br>
View northward from above the A41 (Akeman Street, Roman road), towards Grendon Underwood Junction, Woodford Halse, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield etc. (Cf. SP7018 : Old railway bridge, Woodham). This is the ex-GCR Grendon Underwood Junction - Ashendon Junction link of the 'London Extension' main line, which enabled GC traffic to join the GWR main line from Birmingham to reach London (Marylebone) via High Wycombe. The GC main line was closed 5/9/66, but part of this link remained. (A single track here was evidently in use in 1991 and present-day maps show a line northward from here. [What is it used for]?
