Services
Train services to London are usually via Amersham on the London to Aylesbury Line. Passengers can travel via Princes Risborough and change to a service on the Chiltern Main Line, but this takes longer. Late at night and on Sundays, some services run direct to Marylebone via the Princes Risborough and Chiltern Main Line route, without the need to change.
At peak times there are up to five trains per hour to London in the morning and returning from London in the evening. Some of these are expresses, which do not serve stations shared with the Metropolitan Line nearer to London. The typical service pattern is as follows:
Monday-Friday
- 2 trains per hour to/from London via Amersham (plus 1 train per hour express service to London in morning, and from London in evening peak) (1 train per hour extends north to Aylesbury Vale Parkway)
- 1 train per hour to/from Princes Risborough
Saturday
- 2 trains per hour to/from London via Amersham (1 train per hour is extended north to Aylesbury Vale Parkway)
- 1 train per hour to/from Princes Risborough
Sunday
- 1 train per hour to/from London via Amersham (All trains terminate at Aylesbury Vale Parkway on Sundays)
- 1 train per hour to/from London via Princes Risborough

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
