Looking south from the northern end of Chesham station in Buckinghamshire, the London Underground station most distant from central London. The ground-level signal head on the left was, along with the disused signal box, to be used to show school children how signalling worked. Unfortunately this plan fell through, possibly due to health and safety concerns of having children so close to the electrified track.

Looking north from the southern end of Chesham station in Buckinghamshire, the London Underground station most distant from central London.

This ground-level signal head at Chesham station on the Metropolitan line, along with the disused signal box, was to be used to show school children how signalling worked. Unfortunately this plan fell through, possibly due to health and safety concerns of having children so close to the electrified track. The signal head itself was formerlly the starting singal for one of the platforms at the station, a job no longer required since the track to the second platform was removed.

Four-car A60-Stock EMU number 5116 operating the Metropolitan Line shuttle service between here and Chalfont and Latimer station waits at the only remaining operational platform.
