London Underground at Chesham
Image: © Malc McDonald Taken: 4 Jun 2011
Chesham in Buckinghamshire is one of the furthest outposts of the London Underground network. It is reached by a 4-mile, single track branch line from Chalfont & Latimer. Chesham station now has just one platform but this image shows space for a second track, which used to run along the other side of the platform. The water tower is behind the train. This would have been used to top up the steam locomotives which used to power the trains here before the line was electrified. This view was taken from a footbridge just south of Chesham station. The bridge has been fitted with grilles making photography tricky - the dark stripes along the top and bottom of the image are part of the grille.
