When
you consider that this area was predominantly GWR Country
it must be regarded as quite miraculous that the Lambourn
Valley Railway actually existed at all as an independant
company. But for Seven years ~ exist it most certainly
did, However, in 1905, the LVR was ultimately swallowed
up by the might of the Great Western Railway and, although
it never lost any of it's rural charm, the Lambourn
line became in essence, just another GWR branch line.
