<p>There were quite a number of proposals over the years involving lines from the Buckingham area to connect with both the NBJR and the EWJR.</p>
<p>This one looks like an abandonment of the 1888 Act 52&53 Vict c.cci (1889) which consisted of five sections of railway:</p>
<p>1) From the Aylesbury & Buckingham Ry to Radclive</p>
<p>2) from an end on junction with line (1) to Towcester</p>
<p>3) from a junction with line (1) to a junction with the LNWR Banbury line at Radclive</p>
<p>4)…</p>

<p>4) from a junction with line (2) in Towcester to a junction with the authorised Stratford upon Avon Towcester & Midland Junction Ry at Easton Neston</p>
<p>5) from a junction with line (2) terminating at the NBJR in Towcester</p>
<p>The references to "Towcester" etc refer to parishes, so without the benefit of a map this is all a bit difficult to plot exactly, but it gives an idea of where the lines would have run</p>
<p>Best thing would be to go to Northampton Record Office at Wootton Hall where the Parliamentary Deposited Plans are kept - this one is listed as their ref. no. 199 - it should have a full map/plan with it and will reveal all ! </p>
