Beaconsfield railway station (England)

The station was opened on 2 April 1906 as part of the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway. The station layout was four tracks, with two through lines and two platform lines.^[1] British Rail removed the through lines early in 1974.^[2] The station was transferred from the Western Region of British Rail to the London Midland Region on 24 March 1974.^[2]

As part of Chiltern Railways' Project Evergreen 2, the platform lines were upgraded to increase the line speed for through trains from 40 mph (64 km/h) to 75 mph (121 km/h).^[3] and, in October 2007, work began on installing ticket barriers, which became operational on 10 March 2008.^{[citation needed]}

In the early 2000s the station car park was made into a two-storey car park. In March 2008 the upper deck was closed for work to start on adding a third storey. This opened on 1 September 2008, increasing the total parking spaces to 696.^{[citation needed]}
