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. In 1906 the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway line was opened through High Wycombe, connecting London with their lines to the north. Much of the current Chiltern Railways mainline is formed from this joint line. Following a period of decline in the network, the original branch line to Maidenhead was closed on 2 May 1970 and subsequently lifted .

abstract
  • 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. In 1906 the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway line was opened through High Wycombe, connecting London with their lines to the north. Much of the current Chiltern Railways mainline is formed from this joint line. Following a period of decline in the network, the original branch line to Maidenhead was closed on 2 May 1970 and subsequently lifted . The station was transferred from the Western Region of British Rail to the London Midland Region on 24 March 1974. In November 2005 a fire in the ticket offices gutted the roof of the building. The restored station building reopened in September 2007. High Wycombe is the busiest railway station in the non-metropolitan county of Buckinghamshire. The busiest station in the larger ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire is Milton Keynes Central. Ticket barriers are in operation at this station.
