Princes Risborough station is a railway station that serves the town of Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire, England. The station is operated by Chiltern Railways and is located on the Chiltern Main Line and is the junction for a branch to Aylesbury.
Proposals have been put forward to reopen the line from Princes Risborough to Thame which would become a park and ride station near the M40 motorway; this line could possibly be continued through to Oxford.
In the future the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway intend to operate an extended heritage steam service into an unused platform face at Princes Risborough station thus increasing their accessibility by visitors.
