Ultimately, the Great Central would end up falling by the wayside, and links to other railways would become freight-only connections, however, a service between London Marylebone and Aylesbury would be retained, alongside Underground services as far as Amersham.Īdditionally out of London Marylebone sprouts the Chiltern Main Line, which serves as an alternative path to Birmingham, avoiding the bustling West Coast Main Line. The Great Central Main Line was built to connect Nottingham to London, and would approach the capital by aligning with rails already laid by the Met from Aylesbury onwards. The line shares its history with 2 key railways, the ill-fated Great Central, and the Metropolitan, which would go onto become part of the London Underground. Trains have been connecting the heart of London and the Chiltern towns for over 125 years and now you too can tap into this line’s legacy and give it a drive for yourself with Just Trains’ London – Aylesbury route for Train Simulator!
