Day Rover Tickets & Fares for Diesel-only Days:

You can join our diesel-only trains at either Chinnor or Princes Risborough stations. For car parking and public transport please see our page on Arriving. Choose your seats, sit back, relax and enjoy your trip alongside the Chiltern Hills, where the lovely views open out to the Vale of Aylesbury stretching into the distance. As the scenery gently unfolds past your window you may also spot some of our local wildlife and perhaps the Red Kites whirling overhead! For further information see our Journey Guide.

DIESEL-ONLY DAY FARES:

Diesel-only day tickets are issued as day rovers and are generally valid on every train and all day long! Stay for the day or half day or just one return journey. It's all the same price. You can also choose to break your journey at Chinnor or Princes Risborough for a stroll into the village or town.
