  • The Chiltern Main Line is a railway line which links London (Marylebone) and Birmingham (Moor Street and Snow Hill), the United Kingdom's two largest cities, by a 112-mile (180 km) route via High Wycombe, Bicester, Banbury, Leamington Spa and Solihull. It is one of two main line railway routes between London and Birmingham; the other is the West Coast Main Line between London Euston and Birmingham New Street, which is the principal InterCity route between the two cities. The name Chiltern Line was invented as a marketing name for the line by Network SouthEast in 1985, in reference to the Chiltern Hills which the route passes through near its southern end. The route was originally part of the Great Western Railway's main line from London Paddington to Birmingham Snow Hill, Wolverhampton Low Level and Birkenhead Woodside. Most main line services between London and Birmingham on this route were discontinued in 1967 after the West Coast Main Line was electrified, and Snow Hill station was closed. Services were resumed between London and the reopened Snow Hill in 1993; however they were routed into Marylebone, formerly the London terminus of the now-closed Great Central Main Line, instead of the historic terminus at Paddington. Since the privatisation of British Rail in the 1990s, the main operator has been Chiltern Railways, who have continued to develop the route and services. The line has which has seen much of the line cleared for 100 mph (160 km/h) running, resulting in significant reductions in journey times from 2013. The line is not electrified, although electrification is an aspiration. The line forms part of the suburban rail networks in both cities. The majority of towns towards the London end of the route are prosperous suburbs or commuter-belt towns, such as Ruislip, Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield. These have a journey time of 30 minutes or less to London Marylebone. In the West Midlands it is one of the Snow Hill Lines. Commuter trains operated by West Midlands Trains run between Birmingham Snow Hill, Solihull and Leamington Spa, also to Stratford-upon-Avon. (en)
  • Chiltern Main Line – główna linia kolejowa w Wielkiej Brytanii, część brytyjskiego systemu kolejowego. Łączy Londyn i Birmingham trasą o długości 171 km biegnącą przez północno-zachodni Londyn, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire i Warwickshire. Mimo że West Coast Main Line jest zapewnia szybszy transport między dwoma miastami (używana jest m.in. przez pociągi InterCity), Chiltern Main Line nadal jest popularna ze względu na bardziej bezpośrednią trasę między dwoma ośrodkami miejskimi. W ten sposób uzupełnia West Coast Main Line, zapewniając dodatkowe połączenia między dwoma największymi miastami Wielkiej Brytanii. Używana jest także do połączeń podmiejskich pomiędzy tymi miastami. Linia nie jest zelektryfikowana, choć pojawiały się plany elektryfikacji. Jest obecnie obsługiwana przez spalinowe zespoły trakcyjne klasy 150 (niedaleko Birmingham), klasy 165 (w pobliżu Londynu) i klasy 168 (między miastami) spalinowe zespoły trakcyjne. (pl)
