5 Nations Railway Project (1962: The Apocalypse)

The plan
The 5 Nations Railway Project was founded by Daventry, and Loughborough, the P.R.U.K., Central Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire on July the 15th, 1998. Kettering joined in 6 weeks later. Several there nations joined the project in 1999.


 * Loughborough,
 * Market Harborough
 * Central Northamptonshire
 * Kettering
 * Duchy of Rutland,
 * Buckinghamshire,
 * Provisional Republic of the UK,
 * Daventry and Woodford Halse Union

4 3 Carriage steam trains had chuffed from Hemmel Heampstead to Weliingborough or Northampton via Liegton Buzard, Bletchley, Fenny Stratford and Wolverton on weekdays for years. A small line with a 1 carriage train also ran from Aylesbury to Chedddington, but was rarely used. A new or re-activated east-west railway was mooted since the north-south 2 lines’ re-activation in 1977. Verney Junction was to be totaly rebiult after being hit by a 1kt nuke in WW3.

The People of Central Northamptonshire, Daventry and Buckinghamshire all wanted to attach themselves to the main network of the PRUK somewhere in Warwickshire and possibly dive a line south to Sussex or even east to East Anglia in time. They started, with help from the PRUK in 1984, but the warlords of Brackley and Daventry were concerned over the infringement of there sovrenity by the other nations.

Long range travel is still mostly by horse and bicycle, since there are few motor vehicles. A 2 track railway unifies Banstead and, Epsom, Buckingham, Slough, Horsham and Crawley. It was built in 2009 and has 3 diesel train services a week day. 2 more trains run on the Saturdays, but don't call at Banstead and Epsom.
