Beaconsfield Railway Station
Beaconsfield railway station is the railway station of the town of Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire. The station is served by Chiltern Railways trains from Marylebone towards High Wycombe and Birmingham Snow Hill and is situated between Seer Green & Jordans and High Wycombe stations.
The station was built as part of the construction of the GWR/GCR joint line and opened in 1906. The original station layout was four track, with two through roads and two platform roads, but the through roads have since been removed and trains now use the platform tracks. Recently, as part of Chiltern's Project Evergreen 2 the platform roads were upgraded to increase the linespeed for through trains from 40mph to 75mph. There is a taxi cab company based at the station.
