Quainton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The station was once a junction for the light railway, sometimes known as the Brill Tramway, connecting Quainton with Brill village. Regular services ceased many years ago, but special trains from Aylesbury run to connect with events at the Railway Museum at Quainton railway station. Quainton typifies the true English village, it is not a contrived and manicured "pretty" attraction for the benefit of tourists, in fact few tourists are aware of its existence. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Quainton   (744 words)

History.UK.com Articles Quainton Road Station, 100 years ago, was a bustling hive of railway activity, being the meeting point of three distinct railway lines each with a very special character of its own. A decline in traffic brought the closure of the Brill Tramway in 1935 followed by the Verney Junction line in 1947 with the end of all passenger services coming in 1963 on closure of Quainton Road Station itself. In 1968 the London Railway Preservation Society chose Quainton Road Railway Station, near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire to establish its centre. www.history.uk.com /articles   (893 words)

CULG - Metropolitan Line To serve these a separate Exhibition station was opened in 1923 on the east side just south of Wembley Park station, with non-stop trains to Baker Street; this remained until 1937, when it was replaced by an additional platform at the main station. Some years later, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway was looking to expand towards London, and at the same time the Metropolitan Railway had its eyes on the untapped commuter market of the northwest (the only rival, the LNWR, did not become interested in commuters until much later). Late the following year the Metropolitan attempted to drum up business by running a bus service from the station to the centre of the town. www.davros.org /rail/culg/metropolitan.html   (2554 words)

Brill as Spa Town (The nearest railway station was, at that time, over 20 miles away.) Worst of all, it is said that Queen Victoria declined to visit Dorton, saying she preferred to patronise Leamington Spa. A three-storey hotel and a number of boarding houses were built in the centre of Brill, and work started on the Dorton Spa Rural Hotel on the eastern crest of the village, overlooking the Spa itself. The pungency of the waters, the dearth of social excitement in Brill, and the absence of suitable transport all contributed to the short life of Dorton Spa. www.brill.uk.net /brill/history/spa.html   (316 words)

Trams of the Victorian Railways This line was opened in two stages, from St. Kilda railway station to Middle Brighton on the 7th May, 1906 and to Brighton Beach terminus on the 22nd December, 1906. The Victorian Railways (VR)were responsible for two tram lines, one of 1600mm gauge from St. Kilda railway station to Brighton Beach, and the other of 1435mm gauge from Sandringham railway station to Black Rock. The original Victorian Railways tram fleet comprised nine motors and eight trailers, all built by J.G.Brill of Philadelphia, USA, except for trailers 11-14 which were built at Newport Workshops. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/Set/9507/vrtrams.html   (316 words)

Trams of the Victorian Railways This line's terminus at Sandringham railway station was only three kilometres from the Brighton Beach terminus of the St. Kilda line. It is felt also that the manoeuvring of at least two Black Rock buses in addition to the existing Beaumaris bus and two privately-owned vehicles would create no little congestion in the confined space outside the railway station. The original Victorian Railways tram fleet comprised nine motors and eight trailers, all built by J.G.Brill of Philadelphia, USA, except for trailers 11-14 which were built at Newport Workshops. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/Set/9507/vrtrams.html   (316 words)

Mr Webb's Steel Carriages Most people have heard of South Australian Railways Commissioner Webb who during the 1920's built the new Adelaide Railway Station (now the Casino), introduced the large 500 class mountain and 600 class pacific engines and almost sent the State of South Australian broke before his contract was not renewed. The tender allowed the manufacturer to deliver the cars complete in every respect and ready for traffic, free on rails at the Railway Locomotive Works Islington or alternatively they could be completed in sections ready for re-erection at Islington by the Railways. At this time the Commonwealth Railways had been trying to get all steel rollingstock for the Trans-Australian line since 1917 but meet with little success due to political reluctance to purchase overseas and local producers inability to manufacture anything at an acceptable price. www.railpage.org.au /comrails/common/web_steel_cars.html   (316 words)
