One of two intermediate stations on the line between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury (the other is Little Kimble), this is a station with the most rudimentary of facilities, built in the 1990s. The original station here was opened in 1929 at the far end of the current platform as "Monks Risborough and Whiteleaf Halt". However, despite the simplicity of the station, and, reading the 2007/8 winter timetable, you can catch a rush-hour train direct to London Marylebone from here, the Chiltern Railways' 0741 from Aylesbury arriving at 0835. In the evening the 1745 from London Marylebone bound for Aylesbury arrives here, without any changes being necessary, at 1838.
