Chorleywood station

Chorleywood is a London Underground and National Rail station in Travelcard Zone 7 on the Metropolitan line. The village of Chorleywood is in the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire about 20 miles from London. Chorleywood station is also served by Chiltern Railways, which runs trains from London Marylebone station through to Aylesbury.

The station was built by the expanding Metropolitan Railway and opened as "Chorley Wood" in July 1889. The name was changed to "Chorley Wood & Chenies" in November 1915 until 1934 when it reverted to the original name until 1965. The present name has existed since then.
Chorleywood station was formerly served by steam-hauled Metropolitan line trains from Aylesbury to London, with a changeover to an electric locomotive at Rickmansworth. Steam trains were withdrawn in 1961 when electrification north of Rickmansworth to Amersham and Chesham was completed. From the early 1960s to 2012, Metropolitan line trains at Chorleywood were formed of London Underground A60 Stock , but were replaced by London Underground S8 stock. Chiltern Railways trains are formed by Class 165 diesel multiple units.
