	Chiltern Hills - LoveToKnow 1911
		The name of Chilterns is applied to the hills between the Thames in the neighbourhood of Goring and the headwaters of its tributary the Lea between Dunstable and Hitchin, the crest line between these points being about 55 m.
		The greatest elevation of the Chilterns is found in the centre from Watlington to Tring, where heights from Boo to 850 ft. are frequent.
		The Chilterns were formerly covered with a forest of beech, and there is still a local supply of this wood for the manufacture of chairs and other articles in the neighbourhood of Wycombe.

	Chiltern Main Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chiltern Main Line is a name for the railway line between London Marylebone and Birmingham Snow Hill stations.
		North of High Wycombe station the existing route was reused, with significant upgrading of the formation, and a new route chosen for the up line north of Saunderton (the existing route, taken by the down line, has a gradient of 1 in 88, too steep for the heavy coal trains run by the GCR).
		Upon rail privatisation in the 1990s Chiltern Railways took over the route, and in 1998, the line between Princes Risborough and Bicester North was redoubled by the company.

	20001124 "Stay Frosty"
		Chiltern's representative, a Mr Savar, was hostile to the whole notion of a referee.
		Chiltern's man was, according to Pareas, abusive, confrontational, inexperienced, lacking in organisational skills and made long speeches that were often irrelevant.
		It said he prevented it from presenting its case; took evidence from the architect and didn't report it to Chiltern; took evidence from two subcontractors and didn't report that either; took legal advice and didn't report it; helped the architect to enforce his - the adjudicator's - award; and that this was partisan.

	Midland Main Line: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Midland Main Line was built in stages between the 1830s and the 1860s, as three lines which met at the Tri Junct Station in Derby.
		First to arrive was the line built by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway and its subsidiary the Stonebridge Railway from Hampton-in-Arden, Warwickshire, on the London and Birmingham Railway, to Derby.
		The line was once the Midland Railway's route from London St Pancras to Manchester, branching at Ambergate Junction along the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway, now known as the Derwent Valley Line.

		In attempting to design a signal processing instrument for improvisation I have divided the available processes into three broad areas; those which are 'local' to the source musician, those which are 'local' to the computer musician, and those which create 'fields'.
		In the first category I include processes where the main articulation is controlled directly by the source musician.
		One was a long multi-tapped delay line with a single control of all the output levels.

	High Wycombe Line
		The GWR laid a new line from Old Oak (just outside its own Paddington terminus) North westwards towards Northolt, where it connected with a new branch of the GCR which left the existing their existing line at Neasden.
		Mindful that the new line was to provide main-line connections to the Midlands and the North as well as commuter services into London, the stations were laid out in the grand scale with through roads for the expresses.
		The line to the right is for Aylesbury, straight on for Banbury and Birmingham and to the left, the old line to Chinnor and Watlington.

		The line from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Moor Park was double-tracked in 1962 to allow some trains to operate non-stop between these stations, speeding the service for longer-distance passengers.
		However, steam-hauled trains still run on the Metropolitan line at special annual events, usually held in May or June, when the general public can enjoy the exhilaration of travelling behind a steam engine as it tackles the gradients of the Chilterns.
		Although today's Metropolitan line had its origins in the world's first Underground railway, in fact only 9.7km (six miles) out of the line's 66.7 km (41.5 miles) are actually under ground.

	Chiltern Railways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially the line was franchised to a company formed by the British Rail managers of the route, but since 2003 has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Laing Rail, who owned a much smaller shareholding at privatisation.
		In addition, Chiltern Railways runs one train a day to and from London Paddington to keep traincrew route knowledge up-to-date, as the route is regularly used for diversions during periods of Engineering Work, and one train a day from Birmingham Snow Hill to Oxford.
		As well as the passenger rolling stock, Chiltern have a number of additional former Class 121 units, in a range of liveries, which are used for things such as route learning, Sandite duties, towing failed trains and test trains.

		The Chiltern Main Line, the former Great Western route from London to Birmingham passes through the centre of Warwickshire on a route similar to the M40 motorway, and has stations at Leamington Spa, Warwick, (and Warwick Parkway) and Hatton.
		Nuneaton has direct services to Birmingham and Leicester on this line, and there is one intermediate station at Water Orton near Coleshill in the extreme north-west of the county.
		Although the Leamington to Coventry line passes through the town, its station was closed in the 1960s as part of the Beeching Axe.

	Let's Stay Chilterns - holiday accommodation and tourist guide
		The main aim of the AONB is to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the area, which means that the Chilterns are protected for future generations to enjoy.
		The Chilterns are a beautifully varied and charming landscape of fields, species-rich hedgerows, beechwoods, lanes and chalk streams and chalk downland and are crossed by ancient trails such as the Ridgeway and the Thames Path, both of which are now designated National Trails - Click here for the National Trail website.
		There are over 30 railway stations in the Chilterns (Click here to go to the Chiltern Railways' website) and with an excellent road network, the A1, the M1, the M4, the M40 and the M25, passing through and around the area, the Chilterns are easily accessible to and from London.

	CULG - Metropolitan Line
		The origin of the Metropolitan Main Line was the Metropolitan and St. John's Wood Railway, a branch from Baker Street to tap the northern part of Paddington.
		Two minor lines - the ELR and WandCR - were owned by main line railways that were nationalized in 1948 as part of BR, and the GNandCR was owned by the Metropolitan for part of its lifetime before becoming part of the Northern.
		The line is operated by 8-car A stock trains (two 4-car units), except that the Chesham shuttle, but not the through services, uses a 4-car train (which must be a unit with both cabs fully equipped; "single-ended" units may not operate alone in passenger service).

	History - Chiltern Railways
		The origins of the Chiltern line itself stretch back more than 100 years to 15 March 1899 when Marylebone Station first opened to passenger trains.
		Sir Edward Watkin had been the driving force behind the construction of the line and it was under the auspices of The Great Central Railway that it first provided a rail link between Marylebone, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield with numerous connecting lines.
		When the Great Central main line closed on 4 September 1966, Marylebone became a suburban terminus for trains to Aylesbury (via Amersham) and Banbury (via High Wycombe).

	The Other Railway Path
		You can of course go up the hill between the Daewoo building and car park and follow the main road round but this is boring.
		Then, heading for the main road via the steps, go down Scotts Hill a way (this because of the barrier in the middle of the road), cross the road, then go up a little to Lavrock Lane.
		Woods to the left reveal the other Watford line - don't follow this path along the fence because it ends in houses, continue straight on to the common, or green, as it is known, above the Grand Union Canal.

		In so doing, the lines also serve the towns and villages of Buckinghamshire many of which were immortalised by the poet John Betjaman as Metro Land after the Metropolitan Railway which served them.
		All services north of Amersham are today operated by Chiltern Railways using modern turbo-diesel trains while the Metropolitan continues to use the 1960's stock (classified A60), which have recently been updated and refurbished, on their services to Baker Street, Moorgate and Aldgate.
		This museum at the former Quainton Road station of the Metropolitan Railway includes many exhibits of interest to followers of LT railways, not the least of which is the ex-Metropolitan 0-4-4T of 1898 and an ex-GWR, ex-LT 0-6-0PT dating from 1930.

		They may be part of a standard fleet for use on all the sub surface lines of London Underground (Circle, Hammersmith and City, East London and District) and hopefully they will offer a comfortable journey for the Met's long distance traveler rather than being designed for the shorter journeys of the other sub surface lines.

		Each subplot in the play has been tweaked so they all converge at Parliament as Chiltern defies his extortionist in a fit of integrity.
		He and indie czar John Sayles ("Limbo," "Men With Guns," "Lone Star") are working on a post-war political thriller in which the main character would be Orson Welles.

		The news came at the 17 October meeting of the Wealden Line Steering Group, where it was revealed that SEERA has become increasingly dissatisfied with the SRA's strategy for the route.
		The successful development of the Chiltern Line north of London provides a working example of what such a revived service might be like.
		At a meeting of the Wealden Line Steering Committee in Uckfield, South Central MD David Franks confirmed that his company is actively considering Turbostar trains for the route as an interim measure before electrification.

		Just go past the Watford Museum, round the roundabout and uptown to Rudolph Road - or there are bus numbers 142 or 258 included in the London Transport zone card.
		Don't forget if you come via Silverlink to Watford High Street or Bushey you need a return ticket from Hatch End, because there are no add-on zones available for the Silverlink line from Euston; and yes, there are barriers.
		If you feel like discovering old Bushey, the village green (above right) is still very much in evidence as well as one or two nice old pubs, and a very overgrown main road.

		The Chiltern line (or to those more historically minded, the GW&GCJL) is well-engineered, except perhaps through High Wycombe, and most of the stations were built on platform loops.
		I suspect that to be able to justify the expense of a new line, you'd (1) have to move almost all London-Machester and London-Leeds air traffic onto the railway.
		This would make Euston the main inter-city station for London, for HSL services to the midlands, north and west, with a convenient close proximity next door to St Pancras and King's Cross, especially if a people-mover is built between Euston and St Pancras.
