The railway here was originally opened as a broad gauge route in 1863, later becoming part of the joint Great Western/Great Central system in Buckinghamshire. The station at Monks Risborough, however, did not open until 1929 (as Monks Risborough & Whiteleaf Halt) and was relocated to its present site in 1986. It serves a residential area on the outskirts of Princes Risborough and, despite only having very basic facilities, is used by about 20,000 passengers per year.
