A really nice and pleasant relaxing ride today on the train….. until the guard on the train made really loud announcements through the train tannoy which was on way to loud! Made me any many passengers jump and cover our ears.
The line is about 3 miles each way, about 15 mins. Overall a nice day out

An amazing day out on the Santa special - so much hard work put in by the staff and volunteers to make it such a great day - friendly staff and made to feel really welcome - Santa was a great likeness and the kids loved him - steam and diesel on the train so made everyone happy - thank you for a great day out see you next year 🚂🥧🍷❤️

Nice heritage railway, with friendly & helpful volunteer staff.

Lovely little station.
It’s a single line so the carriages were shared between the diesel & steam engines. Very fascinating.
All the staff were so friendly & even offered our little dog a biscuit as he was so scared of the diesel engine, it made a sharp noise, which made him jump.
It has a marquee that has a few seats & tables in, so you can eat there.
If you haven’t been, please support this line, so they can extend it.
Thank you.

Thought I’d google tv filming & the station & found out it’s been used many times.
I didn’t see a display saying which shows, but this info would be fascinating at the time when I was there.

I can honestly say that visiting this little village station in Oxford was the best day out I have had so far this year. I absolutely loved it! The best way I could describe it is that it felt like revisiting some of the happiest times of my childhood because you really feel like a child going into a "choo choo train racing down the track". Seeing such a great piece of vintage engineering at work is absolutely exhilarating experience and even for this reason alone I would recommend this adventure. It is great fun going with friends or family so anyone looking for ideas of something different to enjoy with their children could consider taking this short journey. The staff was absolutely brilliant the station itself is very quaint and well preserved. It is like finding a delightful little present that you didn't think existed.

Lovely heritage railway featuring diesel & steam engines that run along this line. Fantastic volunteer staff that made the day run smoothly & with lots of laughter. The catering van provides a small range of pasties & sausage rolls that were of excellent quality & piping hot. Good range of hot & cold drinks also available.

It was a red timetable day, mid April. The railway was very busy, which was great to see and we had the benefit of both steam and heritage diesel locomotives. It's a lovely little station in a world of it's own, well staffed and well organised which always adds to the enjoyment. The train was kept clean and tidy by hardworking on-train crew, who also provided a continuous trolley service throughout the day.
We enjoyed conversation with lots of the volunteers and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Notable: substantial free car park and good quality food and drinks from the cafe by the platform, which, again was well staffed and organised and above all excellent value for money. Top marks for the CPRR! Round trip is about an hour and it connects with the main line at Princes Risborough, which makes it very accessible by either car or train. Your ticket is valid for the whole day, so £16 (full adult fare on the day) is excellent value. Kids are £1, so good for families, too!
Ticket: Traditional style cardboard ticket preferred by this reviewer.
Magnetic Totems: 3 Available for the 3 main stations, but not the halt or the railway itself. Revenue opportunity approx £6
Stations 3 and one halt.
Parking: Good size free car park at Chinnor
Toilets: Not too shabby.
