Even in the early stages of assembly, the authors had no idea that Country Branch Line would take over 450 pages. Eventually, it was decided to divide the work into two volumes, with the main story in the first and the individual accounts of each station in the second.
In this second volume the authors have attempted to record something of the staff and their daily routines at each of the stations and crossings, including a brief account of the junction station at Princes Risborough. They have also recorded the traffic handled, together with recollections of the regular traders and even the farmers who used the railway, many of way of life which we will not see the like of again.
