History[]
Amersham was opened September 1, 1892 part of the Metropolitan Railway extension to Aylesbury. On March 12, 1922 its name was changed to "Amersham & Chesham Bois" but reverted to the original name during 1937. It is located on Station Approach, Amersham.
The main line services were operated by the Great Central Railway, so became part of the Great Central Railway and London Passenger Transport Board Joint Line following the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the services to Aylesbury on what is now known as the Chiltern Line were operated by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Railways.
The London Underground A Stock is named after Amersham as it was built due to the electrification to the station in 1959/60.
London Underground have proposed reducing their off peak services to/from Amersham. [1] This is due to the possible increase of services on the Chesham branch. If this does go ahead, services from Amersham would return back to the historically normal frequency of two Metropolitan trains per hour from the four Metropolitan trains per hour service which has been operating for the past five years.
