Services
On the London Underground, the station is served by trains on the Amersham branch of the Metropolitan Line, where it is located between Moor Park and Chorleywood stations. There are also occasional services between Rickmansworth and Watford early in the morning, or late in the evening.
On the National Rail network, the station is served by Chiltern Railways trains between Marylebone and Aylesbury whose next stopping points in each direction are Chorleywood and Harrow-on-the-Hill stations. However, during peak time, Chiltern trains do not stop at Rickmansworth as a result of the short platforms making it unsafe to board or alight from 6 car or longer trains.
There are two tracks through the station, shared in both directions by London Underground and National Rail trains. A third old and unused platform (from the steam days) is still in place.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“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)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
