The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It runs from a junction at Chalfont & Latimer station on the Metropolitan line for 3.89 miles northwest to Chesham.
- The line was built as part of Edward Watkin's scheme to turn his Metropolitan Railway into a direct rail route between London and Manchester, and it was envisaged initially that a station outside Chesham would be an intermediate stop on a through route running north to connect with the London and North Western Railway.
- Deteriorating relations between the MR and LNWR led to the MR instead expanding to the northwest via Aylesbury, and the scheme to connect with the LNWR was abandoned.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Chesham branch article was read about 2,700 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
