School train

Did boarding schools of the Marlow period really have a designated train that was full of everyone going back to a particular school? (Autumn Term, End of Term,)What sort of circuitous route did they have to take?

This - they still lay on some extra trains or carriages for football matches and similar large-crowd events, so back when there were more rural branch lines it would have been even easier. Having carriages reserved for a certain group is still possible (compartments were phased out totally a few years ago, but were mostly carriages 20 years ago).
