How can such places be left to go so unnoticed and forgotten simply due no further purpose in life. Is it in the way of progress? A sad reflection on modern society attitudes, there were many thousands like this around the country, after closures took place. Progression moves on, from a long gone era.😥🤔 A worthy video capture, thanks for sharing it.

I used to have my lunch on a bench on the abandoned platform. It was a magical place where time had stood still. I haven’t been there for maybe 6 years as I am now retired so it will always be there in my mind even though it is now gone.

My Mother was born in Swanbourne, 1899 and we kids spent every summer holiday there so I remember the station well, a long walk up to the village.

Oh my, Chris. A beautiful film worthy of being an opening sequence for a major film or TV series. Absolutely gorgeous.

This makes me feel incredibly sad. This used to be a beautiful location that nature had taken back over the last half a century. I used to walk our dogs down there every day before they started ripping it to bits and it was a wonderful, quiet, peaceful place. There were two brothers who used to live in the old station house, who had been there for seventy years, their father used to be the station master. Unfortunately, one of the brothers died in the last year or two, whether that was anything to do with the stress of being moved out of their home I don’t know? I remain to be convinced as to the wisdom of re-opening this line, it closed back in the sixties because nobody was using it and that was at a time when only one household in ten had a car. I fail to see why people will be flocking to use it now, at a time when the majority of households have two or even three cars!? If they’ve got three quarters of a billion pounds to spend, they’d have been better investing in a fleet of busses that would pick people up from where they live and drop them off where they work!

stuff like this makes me want to go back in time with a swag of money and safe shit like this as a presurvation line

Mesmerizing video MrQ. I liked how the route of the old line was still in evidence. I could see horse and cart out front collecting folk and people on the platform. Beautiful! All the best. Mark

They will be kicking themselves in years to come, such a shame. Very nicely captured. Regards James and Kirsteen

Very good👍

So sad that it was demolished last year for east west rail. Those that live in the area should be able to travel from winslow station on the new line. That lovely station should have been saved and shipped to a heritage line.

Crikey Chris! Thats a crackin video you've put together.

What a little gem... brilliantly captured..nice document to have before it's lost for ever :(

What a beautiful station you have really captured a unique moment from the past feels romantic and nostalgic thumbs up x

That was so beautiful Chris! Everything about it was perfect, so sad if it is the last days though X

beautiful footage and the music was perfect.

Now that was worth waiting for - absolutely loved it ;)

so beautiful and full of character, very sad to hear they want to demolish it... maybe a signed petition from many people in your area to the ones in charge could possibly move the building down a bit and be declared a historic site. Gorgeous video footage Chris, it really looks like the opening of a wonderful British Show.

Drone vids are two a penny these days but your selection of topic and really exploring said topic set yours apart imo. Also the speed of your flight and trajectory of you camera are just sublime, mate This vid needs to be brought to the attention of interested parties for their archives. Great work.

Oh, they're reopening the line? It looked like a dead end but it must have been the grass that covered the rails. Stunningly beautiful footage!!! Loved it.

Very beautiful place :)

Great video mate. Sad they have to leave

Smooth and Sweet. Great video :D

That looks a nice station and good video mr q

I think about my great grandfather standing on the platforms after visiting his family there and at bedford

Shame to see it go...

Excellent mate,its a shame they are going to knock it down,would be an ideal place for filming period dramas and feature films,such a waste,nice shots the the quadcopter too

Thoughtfully created.

What's the piece of music called? It's absolutely beautiful and matches the beauty and calm of the location too! Shame they knocked it down...

I can see why the wooden ticket office building has to go - although it would be nice if it could be dismantled and rebuilt at a heritage railway. Scratching my head slightly as to why the whole of the rest of the building has to go. That seems uneccessary.

Great shots. Bet it was spleandid in its day.

Belting footage mate! You put me to shame with my dust gathering drone :-/

Its a shame that they are going to be knocking down a wonderful pretty and beautiful station like that

Top marks

Judging the station is near MK ! Is it in the way of HS2 ?

Lovely - but why does it have to come down? Surely they could veer round it?

Seems a shame. It would be better to restore the building than tear it down.

So sad, but it was never going to survive the reopening/electrification. Back in the early 1990s, me and childhood friends used to walk along the line from Bletchley to Swanbourne station, but never dared go past it for fear of getting into trouble. Back in those days, travellers would often camp on a bridle way by the track bed (about a mile east of the station) and we once witnessed them cutting the track up with oxy-acetylene torches and using sleepers as firewood! The other problem that section of line had was dumped stolen cars, and a recent walk along the line (for old times’ sake) showed it still to be happening; I saw three burnt out cars in the space of as many miles!
