Bubble and Squeak Tracker
Sunday 9 April 2017
THIS TOUR IS NOW FULLY BOOKED
The Branch Line Society is delighted to announce a special charter train in conjunction with Chiltern Railways (CR) to enjoy a rather unique journey on a Class 121 Bubble Car. The tour will traverse rare lines in the Chiltern operating area including Aylesbury Carriage Sidings, Oxford Dn Sidings, and the freight only sections between Bicester Gavray Junction, Claydon and Aylesbury Parkway. The train will be formed of one of the two remaining Chiltern operated first generation DMUs, and is strictly limited to just sixty seats. Note there will be no catering or toilet facility on board. A souvenir map, ticket and comprehensive tour brochure will aid your enjoyment of the day. All profits will be donated to the nominated charity, Railway Children. The itinerary includes a 60-minute break at Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, for which the entrance fee is included in your fare.
Our ROUTE, validated by CR and bid to Network Rail, is as follows:
Aylesbury P1 (PU 09.42) – Princes Risborough – High Wycombe – Gerrards Cross – West Ruislip UPL – Marylebone P3 (PU 11.26 break / RM) – Princes Risborough – Bicester Depot Goods Loop – Oxford Parkway – Oxford P1 (RM) – Oxford Dn Sidings (RM) – Oxford P4 (RM) – Oxford Parkway – Bicester Depot Goods Loop – Claydon (RM) – Calvert – Quainton Road (Buckinghamshire Railway Centre / break) – Aylesbury North Goods Loop – Aylesbury No 4 Carriage Siding (RM) – Aylesbury (RM) – Aylesbury No 5 Carriage Siding (RM) – Aylesbury P2 (SD 18.00).
