Cheddington railway station

Cheddington railway station serves the village of Cheddington, near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, England. It also serves a number of surrounding villages, most notably Ivinghoe. The station is 36 miles/58 km north west of London Euston on the West Coast Main Line. It is operated by London Midland, which also provides all services. Although the station has four platforms, only platforms 3 and 4 are used regularly.

Just over 2 km north of this station, on the stretch of line between Cheddington and Leighton Buzzard, is Bridego Bridge, the scene of the Great Train Robbery of 1963.

Cheddington was formerly a junction for the LNWR's branch line to Aylesbury High Street. This branch terminated in the east of the town and made no connection to the GCR/Metropolitan Railway station in Aylesbury. It closed to passengers in 1953 (freight continuing until 1964); however, the branch platform is still in situ at Cheddington and the curve of the branch is now part of the station's approach road.



Services
There is normally an hourly service in each direction from Cheddington: southbound to London Euston and northbound to Milton Keynes Central. There are occasional through trains to Northampton at the extremities of the day. There is sometimes, but very rarely, a service to Crewe that stops here.

London Midland is proposing to close the ticket office.
