Maidenhead - Wycombe line at one time the main line into and out of Maidenhead. The old station still remains, bricked up under Castle Hill Bridge which you can see here (not my photograph)

The Wycombe branch left the GWR line on the site of the present Maidenhead station. The first stop was Maidenhead (Wycombe Junction), renamed Boyne Hill in the 1860s. This station was situated on the Bath Road at the top of Castle Hill, which was regarded at the time to be the best site for attracting passengers. This station closed on 1st November 1871 upon the opening of the present Maidenhead station. To this day the bricked-up entrance to Boyne Hill Station can still be seen on the south side of the A4 Castle Hill
