... A year or so ago there was someone posting pictures of works going on the mothballed areas. I assume that got so far and stopped?
I've made several visits to Verney Junction, Claydon Brook bridge & Swanbourne Station over the last few years from 2013 onwards - if I did post some images, I expect they're no longer viewable following operational changes by the image host I used.
In August 2013 the tracks etc. at Verney Junction were heavily overgrown.
In 2014 much track clearance had taken place at Verney Junction, Claydon Brook bridge & Swanbourne station.
In 2015 the clearance continued, and the old platforms at Verney Junction were visible.
In July 2016 the contractors appeared to have gone away, and the tracks were overgrown again, and fishplates had been removed from track over Claydon Brook bridge. I've not checked there recently.
I've also taken some photos at the Blue Lagoon, Bletchley part of the line.
PM me if interested in image copies.
