Amersham station

Amersham is a London Underground and National Rail station in the market town of Amersham, Buckinghamshire, England. It is a terminus of the London Underground's Metropolitan line and a stop on the London-Aylesbury line. It lies 23.7 miles (38.1 km) north-west of Charing Cross, making it the second furthest Underground station from Central London and the second most-westerly station of the whole network, after Chesham. It lies in London fare zone 9.

History
The station was opened on 1 September 1892 as part of the Metropolitan Railway (Met) extension from Chalfont Road (now Chalfont & Latimer) to Aylesbury. On 12 March 1922, its name was changed to Amersham & Chesham Bois, but the original name was restored during 1937. From 16 March 1899, the Great Central Railway served the station through its extension to Marylebone. Consequently, the station became joint Met/GCR owned. On 1 January 1923, the GCR became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) ==Facilities==
Facilities
In 2009, because of financial constraints, Transport for London (TfL) decided to stop work on a project to provide step-free access at Amersham and five other stations, on the grounds that these are relatively quiet stations and some are already one or two stops away from an existing step-free station. In 2017, TfL announced that Amersham station would receive funding for step-free access, and that work would begin in 2018. It was opened in February 2021. Ticket barriers are in operation at the station. ==Services==
