 Picture Courtesy of Frank Phillipson Looking past the buffers at Chesham station in December 1971. At that time there were still two tracks at Chesham, although they no longer lead into the goods yard beyond, although the old goods shed can still be seen. When the line was opened there was a proposal to extend it further to Tring and then connect to the LNWR route on the Euston Birmingham line. Much land was bought for the purpose but never used. For a long time there was a gap in the houses along White Hill where land was owned by the railway for this route, but it never happened. Today the goods yard is occupied by the car parks for the station and Waitrose. |
