High Wycombe railway station is the railway station of the town of High Wycombe. The station is served by Chiltern Railways trains from Marylebone towards Birmingham Snow Hill and is situated between Beaconsfield and Saunderton stations.

The station was built over 150 years ago after an original design by Brunel and is a listed monument. The station was originally the terminus of the GWR/Wycombe Railway branch line from Maidenhead, later extended to Oxford and Aylesbury. Around the turn of the 20th century the GWR/GCR joint line was built through High Wycombe, connecting London with their lines to the north. Much of the current Chiltern mainline is formed from this joint line. Following a period of decline in the network, the original branch line to Maidenhead was closed in the 1970s.

In November 2005 a fire in the ticket offices gutted the roof of the building. The buildings are currently being rebuilt. [1]

At the current time, Chiltern Railways operates many services that either terminate or pass through the station:
