Bourne End sign

Bourne End is the truncated end of a line to High Wycombe which is now just an intermediate station on the line to Marlow where the train has to reverse. I had to hang around for a few minutes while driver and conductor changed ends and tokens were fiddled with before the train was out of the station.

The front (north) side of the station building:

Although the building has a waiting room and ticket office, it was closed on this particular drizzly Saturday. The entrance to the platforms is round the side of the building:

Behind the buffers, looking west. Most trains use platform 1, on the right, but there are some peak trains that don't continue to Marlow and use platform 2:
