Railway bridge over the A4010 This brick built bridge carries the Chiltern Main Line over the A4010 road at West Wycombe on its way from High Wycombe to Princes Risborough. It was built in the early 1900's as a replacement for the old Wycombe Railway bridge. The Wycombe Railway was a single track formerly broad gauge railway between Maidenhead and Oxford. The line was rebuilt as part of the Great Western/Great Central Joint Railway built from Northolt to Banbury to cut journey times from Paddington to Birmingham. It also provided the Great Central with a second route from Marylebone to the north. Today's services run from Marylebone to Birmingham Snow Hill. The construction of the bridge is interesting in that it consists of 5 separate brick arches built on the skew across the road, clearly shown in the photograph. The abutments of the old bridge can be seen beyond the new one.
