The Icknield Line is run by the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway, a registered charity set up in 1989 to revive a local victim of Dr Beeching’s axe. Over time this group of dedicated volunteers has worked wonders drumming up funds, obtaining various planning permissions and recruiting many pairs of willing hands. The little brick and flint station at Chinnor has been rebuilt, a stretch of track through lovely Chilterns countryside refurbished, and all the practical skills required to operate a heritage railway secured. A lot of progress has been made since Tony Hyde shot his pictures on a summer day in 2008. These pictures will convey something of the atmosphere and pleasure that can be had from a visit – for more information go to www.chinnorrailway.co.uk
