LPPC DSL BW 0890 Diverging from the WR main line at Maidenhead is the branch to Marlow and that terminus is shown here with another Class 121 (55031) single unit and driving trailer at the platform. Originally, the Marlow line was itself a secondary branch off a route which ran from Maidenhead to High Wycombe, but which was cut back, as part of the Beeching cuts, to Bourne End so that Marlow trains are now required to reverse there. Branches that are roots never occurred to BR accountants in post-Beeching times, as the section from Bourne End to High Wycombe, if open, would now take a lot of the heavy commuter traffic off the Marlow Bypass A404. Keywords: Marlow, Class 121, Passenger, L131, 55031, BR, Western
