Hi Si,<br />
Yes I used to travel it daily and the Shell Filling site is indeed very clear and a fair size. I manage to post a picture a while back of the embankment from Southbound M40 thanks to traffic I just hadn't seen the view from the train for absolutely ages. Prone to flooding now though I noticed.<br />
Will have to see if I can get a copy of the book so I can read more. Was it served by the line at all do we know?

<p>Gary,</p>

<p>The embankment of the LNWR line to Cockley Brake is clearly visible even today although the M40 bisects it. The point at which the M40 crossed the line is the site of the WW1 Shell Filling Plant. You can see some of the brick bunker walls in the fields either side of the motorway. There is little informatin about the site in existance but there is a brief description of it in the Buckinghamshire Railway by Bill Bedford.</p>
