[edit] History
A branch from the Wycombe Railway at Bourne End was built by the Great Marlow Railway; this was opened on 28 June 1873, and was worked by the Great Western Railway. The branch was absorbed by the GWR on 6 August 1897.[1]
There was a proposal to extend the branch westwards to Henley-on-Thames, but the plan was met with local opposition.[1]
The line was originally a branch from the Wycombe Railway route between Maidenhead and High Wycombe. When this service was withdrawn north of Bourne End in 1970, Marlow station became the terminus of the Marlow Branch Line which leaves the main Great Western Main Line at Maidenhead railway station.
[edit] Services
Services are provided by First Great Western; at peak times these shuttle between Marlow and Bourne End, but at off-peak times and weekends they run through to Maidenhead, reversing at Bourne End.
