Wolverton, Stony Stratford District New Tramway
From Graces Guide
1883 The Wolverton and Stony Stratford Tramway was re-named as the Wolverton and Stony Stratford and District Tramway
In 1886 the name changed to the Wolverton, Stony Stratford and District Light Railway
A 2.5 mile long extension opened in 1888 to serve Deanshanger, to the west of Stony Stratford, but the tramway company quickly ran into financial trouble and declared bankruptcy in 1889.
In 1889 the line went into liquidation
The line was purchased by a syndicate of Bedford businessmen who reopened the Wolverton to Stony Stratford section in 1891 and it was known as the Wolverton, Stony Stratford District New Tramway and this ran until liquidation in 1919. The Deanshanger extension never re-opened.
