Waddesdon Road railway station

Entire photograph other than insignificant cropping at the margins; I believe further cropping would lose the architectural detail and layout and the geographical context the photograph is intended to illustrate.

736x400px scan, substantially lower quality than the (full page) original. Further reduction would result in the loss of necessary detail such as the station's signboard.

To illustrate the appearance of Waddesdon Road railway station during the short period (1933-1935) in which it was operated as a part of the London Underground.

The majority of fittings and fixtures were removed in late 1935 less than two months after this photograph was taken, the track itself was removed in 1936, and the platform was sold at auction and the station buildings demolished shortly afterwards; it is thus impossible to recreate the photograph today. To the best of my knowledge no photographs of the station from this period exist in the public domain. An earlier photo, even if one could be found which was in the public domain, would not be a suitable replacement as this photograph shows later alterations to the platform made to accommodate larger size trains.

To illustrate the appearance of a typical station on this line during the short period (1933-1935) in which it was operated as a part of the London Underground. Stations on this line were of a unique design, all featuring this style of building and with a double-level platform to cater for passenger carriages operated by different companies. The only station from this line still in existence is Quainton Road railway station, which was a significantly larger station, built by a different company at a later date and to a different design than the others, and thus is not representative of the route.

The majority of fittings and fixtures were removed in late 1935 less than two months after this photograph was taken, the track itself was removed in 1936, and the platform was sold at auction and the station buildings demolished shortly afterwards; it is thus impossible to recreate the photograph today. To the best of my knowledge no photographs of any stations of this design from this period exist in the public domain. An earlier photo, even if one could be found which was in the public domain, would not be a suitable replacement as this photograph shows later alterations to the platform made to accommodate larger size trains.
