Trains to Bushey - Station Details and further Information on Bushey Train Services
Bushey train station serves the towns of Bushey and Oxhey and is situated on the Watford DC Line, 8 km (5 miles) north of Harrow & Wealdstone. The station was renamed from "Bushey & Oxhey" to "Bushey" on 6 May 1974, even though it is actually sited in the neighbouring town of Oxhey, and the nearest part of Bushey (Bushey Village) is over a mile away. Even so it was late in the 1980s before signage at the station reflected this change.
Bushey is on the London Overground "DC lines" between London Euston and Watford Junction and the London Midland services between London and Tring. The platforms for the local DC service are curved away and apart from the mainline route. There are three mainline platforms; two forming an island platform between the fast up and the slow down lines, the other serving the slow up line. This means that the fast down line has no platform at Bushey, though there are remnants visible.
For London Overground services, Monday to Saturday daytimes there is a train every 20 minutes calling at all stations to London Euston (southbound) and Watford Junction (northbound). Evenings and Sundays there is a half-hourly service in each direction.
For London Midland services, Monday to Saturday daytimes the half-hourly service to London Euston and Tring stops at Bushey. Evenings the hourly "all stations" Euston - Milton Keynes Central services stop here.
The high-speed rail link to London for the Virgin Trains network trains has been the only source of building work to the station, where a storage yard and redundant buildings were converted into a high-voltage substation to supply the significantly higher current required for the new trains. The high speed trains' last stop before London is either Watford Junction or Milton Keynes. |
