Railway arch in THE PROFESSIONALS - No Stone

[45doyle]

Sadly, seem to have missed this location from 'The Professionals'. It's from the 'No Stone' episode filmed in 1981. I always thought it was around Beaconsfield area, but can't place it. It could be near a land-fill (quarry). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If so, it would have to be the disused trackbed of the former Great Western line from near High Wycombe (between High Wycombe and Beaconsfield) to Bourne End.

That disused trackbed runs north-east from the existing Bourne End station, along what is now Boston Dr Bourne End, through the countryside (the outline is clearly visible on Google maps), becomes Old Station Way, Woodburn Green and continued up through Loudwater to join the former Gt Western and Gt Central Joint line, between High Wycombe and Beaconsfield.

As this episode was also filmed at Luton Airport I would suggest that this was filmed in the same area? at an arch which was the next one along to the double arch tunnel used for many ITC adventures for ambushes like The Saint 'Queen's Ransom' and what Sharon Mcready uses to get rid of her amorous hitchhikers in The Champions.

Found it - no longer in service and well hidden in the grounds of Stampwell Farm, Jordans, Bucks.

I take it you mean that the road part of it is disused. The railway line is certainly not disused: it's the Chiltern (ex-GWR) line from High Wycombe to Marylebone. I imagine that the bridge is one of the two that I've marked with red arrows.

Sorry Martin; worded that a bit wrong; indeed, the railway line is in current use; and the tunnel is the bottom one you have marked. Pics over on the TV Lounge...from link above by ALJ.
