Passengers were able to ride on trains between the village and Princes Risborough on Saturday for the first time in 57 years.

Henley MP John Howell greeted the first train to arrive at Chinnor station at 10.25am after it passed over a new connecting track laid between the preserved Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway and the Chiltern main line just outside Princes Risborough station.

More trains will run this coming Saturday and on Saturday, October 19. For the full story, see tomorrow’s Oxford Mail.
