The Wolverton–Newport Pagnell line was a railway branch line in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom running from Wolverton on the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) (today's West Coast Main Line) to Newport Pagnell. The line fully opened to passengers in 1867. An extension to Olney was planned in 1865, but this scheme was abandoned after partial construction. Earthworks along the route of the extension still exist in Bury Field (Newport Pagnell), and plaques exist detailing the history of the failed project.

  • The Wolverton–Newport Pagnell line was a railway branch line in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom running from Wolverton on the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) (today's West Coast Main Line) to Newport Pagnell. The line fully opened to passengers in 1867. An extension to Olney was planned in 1865, but this scheme was abandoned after partial construction. Earthworks along the route of the extension still exist in Bury Field (Newport Pagnell), and plaques exist detailing the history of the failed project. Competition from road traffic starting in the early twentieth century put pressure on the railway, and it was later a victim of the Beeching cuts. The line was seen as unprofitable, and it closed to passengers in 1964, and to goods traffic in 1967. Part of the trackbed today provides a section of the Milton Keynes redway system, a network of shared paths that serves the Milton Keynes urban area. (en)
  • Linia kolejowa Wolverton – Newport Pagnell – linia kolejowa w hrabstwie Buckinghamshire w Wielkiej Brytanii, łącząca stację , odgałęzia się od (LNWR) (obecnie West Coast Main Line), z Newport Pagnell. Została otwarta dla ruchu pasażerskiego w 1867; początkowo planowano przedłużyć ją do Olney, jednakże prace przerwano po wykonaniu prac ziemnych (ślady przerwanych robót można jeszcze zobaczyć np. na ). W 1962 w ramach reformy kolei zwanej Beeching Axe podjęto decyzję o zamknięciu linii. Ostatecznie została zamknięta dla ruchu pasażerskiego w 1964, a dla towarowego w 1967. Po likwidacji utworzono na niej ścieżkę rowerową. (pl)
