==Railway history== In 1899β1905 the [[Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway]] was built through the parish. In 1906 {{rws|Ilmer Halt}} was opened on the line to serve the village. [[British Rail]]ways closed the halt in 1963. The railway remains open as part of the [[Chiltern Main Line]] from London. In 1968, a scene from [[Albert R. Broccoli]]'s ''[[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]'' was filmed along the railway line in which the Baron Bomburst's spies capture the wrong car with Lord Scrumptious inside. <ref> Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Wikipedia: Locations; Railway Bridge</ref>
