The edge of the map

So today i headed off down South for what ended up being one of my most complicated railway adventures yet. I wanted to go to Chesham which is one of the two North Western termini of the Metropolitan Line and is indeed the furthest station on the Underground from Central London (Charing Cross to be exact) and the most Northerly and Western Underground station.

However getting there took 4 trains (and 5 coming back!)* but it was worth it as Chesham is a lovely place (which will be covered in another blog post). And I got some nice photos at the Buckinghamshire stations Princes Risborough, Aylesbury, Chalfont & Latimer and Chesham, which you can see here.

Chalfont & Latimer (obviously)

* It is possible in 2 trains from Birmingham but this means going all the way to London and then out again - probably takes longer and is more expensive.
