Trains to Beaconsfield - Station Details and further Information on Beaconsfield Train Services
Beaconsfield train station is the train 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 line speed for through trains from 40mph to 75mph. There is a taxi cab company based at the station.
In October 2007 work begun on installing ticket barriers, these became operational on 10 March 2008. Prior to this the station was a popular through route when walking from one side of Beaconsfield to the other, but since the barriers were installed its no longer possible to walk through the station meaning the a 1/4 mile de-tour is now necessary.
In the early 2000s the station car park was made into a two story multi-story car park. In March 2008 the top deck was closed in order for work to commence on adding a third story. This opened on 1 September 2008 bringing the total available spaces up to 696.
