I went to Calvert a few times in recent years to stand on the bridge and look at the remaining platform. I also visited sections of the Varsity line to look at the resurrection but was too late to see the mothballed stations at Swanbourne. It’s going to be utterly different when HS2 and EWR are up and running. This relatively sleepy part of Bucks will be lost, I think.
@@johnhealy8513 Anything unique about it? Is anything about it a "first"? Genuine questions, I don't know. To my untrained eye there's nothing there worth listing - so feel free to "train" me :)
Thanks
