The Aylesbury–Princes Risborough line is a rural branch line between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. The line is single track throughout with a maximum speed of 40 mph.[1]
History
The line was built as a single track
standard gauge in 1870. The branch was incorporated into the newly formed Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway in 1906. Network SouthEast made the branch part of its Chiltern subdivision
in the 1980s.

Evergreen 2 project the line was resignalled with two new signals at Little Kimble, one for each direction of travel.[citation needed
] These allow two trains to travel in the same direction, thus allowing a passenger service to follow the freight train or vice versa.
