I was at Chesham station a couple of weekends ago, was seeing a friend who lived in the area. Was last at the station in about 98/99.
The “features” of the station don’t seem to have been looked after – the water tower paint was rusting and peeling and the old signal box needed a clean/paint and had a window boarded up. The old award winning garden in the disused platform was over grown and unloved and the “garden award 1993” plaque was tarnished.
Did Chesham/LU not win a heritage award in the 90s for the preservation of the station?
I know that other things take priority, but it would not take alot of effort to have a good clean and paint - LU/Metronet shoud look after all stations well, but especially ones with interesting/listed features.
Thoughts?
Edit: I will be there is a couple of weeks - will take some photos if I can.
