Heavens, it’s a small world!
Little Kimble station is just three miles from here.
For many years the station itself was closed although the station buildings became a private dwelling and trains continued to run between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury.
I can’t remember how long ago it was when the station came back into use but I wonder how it affected the occupants of the house.
Having said that, while there are comparatively few passenger services, the track is used extensively by trains taking London’s domestic waste to a landfill site at the old brickworks quarry at Calvert north of Aylesbury.
On a warm day those wagons do NOT smell of roses so a few passengers wandering past your window are probably a minor inconvenience.
The suggestions that the name should be changed to Big Kimble or Large Kimble would cause a certain amount of confusion as there is already a Great Kimble a short distance away!
Last, but by no means least, it was good to see Sundae’s brother in the video. She’d often talk about Steven but I’ve never met him.
