Beaconsfield railway station

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.
