Chesham lies at the end of the Chesham branch of the Metropolitan line, and opened 8 July 1889 as the original northern terminus of the Metropolitan Railway from Baker Street. There is no station starter signal at Chesham. The branch has no intermediate stops and is the longest distance between adjacent stations on the network at 3.89 miles (6.26 km) [1].
There are two 8-car through trains to Aldgate (during the morning rush hour) and two returning through trains in the evening rush hour but for most of the day a 4-car train operates as a shuttle service to and from Chalfont & Latimer station, on the main line to Amersham and Aylesbury.
The station is in Travelcard Zone D and is situated 25 miles (40.2 km) north west of Charing Cross.
