The Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway runs from Chinnor station, close to the beautiful Chiltern Hills and to the Vale of Aylesbury. Originally built in the 1870's to connect the towns of Watlington in Oxfordshire to Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire it was closed by British Railways in 1989. Since then a team of volunteers has restored Chinnor station to its Victorian glory the railway operates the 3.5 mile ex GWR branch line as a tourist attraction for families and railway enthusiasts. A regular steam hauled service is provided every Sunday from April to October. Special events are a feature of the programme, and include Thomas the Tank Engine weekends and Santa Specials. Cream teas are served on selected afternoon trains throughout the summer months.
