Seer Green and Jordans railway station lies close to the village of Seer Green in Buckinghamshire and also serves the nearby village of Jordans. Chiltern Railways trains between London Marylebone and High Wycombe and Birmingham Snow Hill call at the station, which is situated between Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield.
Background[]
The majority of trains calling at the station are those running between High Wycombe and London Marylebone and vice versa, although other trains call at certain times, such as Bicester North, Banbury, Aylsebury via High Wycombe and Birmingham Snow Hill services. For most of the day, during the week and on Saturdays, there are two trains per hour in each direction. In the past, there have been non-stop London-Seer Green evening peak services, although none are timetabled currently. The Sunday service to Seer Green has now been restored to one train per hour in each direction (London and Aylesbury via High Wycombe).
Most services from this station are operated by Class 165 trains, although some peak and late night/early morning services are operated by Class 168 trains.
The station was built almost a decade after the construction of the GWR/GCR joint line and opened on New Year's Day, 1915. The station was originally known as Beaconsfield Golf Links due to its close proximity to that golf club, but has since taken on its current name, as it now primarily serves local commuters rather than golfers.
The station was transferred from the Western Region of British Rail to the London Midland Region on 24 March 1974.[1]
