It was privately built in 1871 by the <a href="/wiki/Richard_Plantagenet_Campbell_Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville,_3rd_Duke_of_Buckingham_and_Chandos" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard Plantagenet Campbell Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos">3rd Duke of Buckingham</a> as a <a href="/wiki/Horsecar" title="Horsecar">horse tram</a> line to help transport goods between his lands around <a href="/wiki/Wotton_House" title="Wotton House">Wotton House</a> and the national rail network. Lobbying from the nearby village of <a href="/wiki/Brill,_Buckinghamshire" title="Brill, Buckinghamshire">Brill</a> led to its extension to Brill and conversion to passenger use in early 1872. Two locomotives were bought, but trains still travelled at an average speed of 4 miles per hour (6 km/h). In 1883, the Duke of Buckingham planned to upgrade the route to main line standards and extend the line to <a href="/wiki/Oxford" title="Oxford">Oxford</a>, creating the shortest route between Aylesbury and Oxford. Despite the backing of the wealthy <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_de_Rothschild" title="Ferdinand de Rothschild">Ferdinand de Rothschild</a>, investors were deterred by costly tunnelling. In 1888, a cheaper scheme was proposed in which the line would be built to a lower standard and avoid tunnelling, and, in anticipation, the line was named the Oxford & Aylesbury Tramroad. The existing line was upgraded in 1894, but the extension to Oxford was never built. Instead, operation of the Brill Tramway was taken over by London's <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Railway" title="Metropolitan Railway">Metropolitan Railway</a> and Brill became one of its two north-western termini. The line was rebuilt in 1910, and more advanced locomotives were introduced, allowing trains to run faster. The population of the area remained low, and the primary income source remained the carriage of goods to and from farms. Between 1899 and 1910, other lines were built in the area, providing more direct services to London and the north of England. The Brill Tramway went into financial decline. In 1933, the Metropolitan Railway became the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_line" title="Metropolitan line">Metropolitan line</a> of <a href="/wiki/London_Passenger_Transport_Board" title="London Passenger Transport Board">London Transport</a>. The Brill Tramway became part of the London Underground, despite Quainton Road being 40 miles (64 km) from London and not underground. London Transport aimed to concentrate on electrification and improvement of passenger services in London and saw little possibility that passenger routes in Buckinghamshire could become viable. In 1935, the Brill Tramway was closed. The infrastructure was dismantled and sold. Little trace remains, other than the former <a href="/wiki/Junction_station" title="Junction station">junction station</a> at <a href="/wiki/Quainton_Road_railway_station" title="Quainton Road railway station">Quainton Road</a>, now the <a href="/wiki/Buckinghamshire_Railway_Centre" title="Buckinghamshire Railway Centre">Buckinghamshire Railway Centre</a>. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Brill_tramway_system_diagram.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Map of a railway line running roughly south-west to north-east.
