-----------------
The first Great Western Railway to get to Aylesbury took a long route to get to London (Paddington) through Princes Risborough, High Wycombe, Bourne End and Maidenhead. Later in 1892, a shorter route to London was finished. This railway went through Wendover, Great Missenden, Amersham, Rickmansworth and Harrow. In 1899 all the work at Aylesbury was finally finished. The line was very expensive, costing £350,000 for the Rickmansworth to Aylesbury part.

Will the telephone be introduced into Slough Police Station?
At the last meeting of the Standing Joint Committee, the Chief Constable (Major Mayne) read a letter from the National Telephone Company, stating that they had opened an exchange at Slough, and inquiring whether the Committee desired the Police station connected with that exchange. A charge of £10 per annum would be made, in addition to 3d for every three minutes' conversation outside a twenty-five miles radius. It would be most convenient if they were connected with the exchange, as it would put them in communication with Scotland Yard. The committee decieded to refer the matter to the Chief Constable to make a report on it to them.
