History

The station was opened by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) on 19 July 1926.[3]

During World War II, the station played a small part in the signing of the Anglo-Soviet Treaty. On 21 May 1942, LNER Class A4 locomotive number 4495 Golden Fleece brought Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov to the station, where he was met by his British counterpart Anthony Eden. The pair and their staff were then driven to the Chequers estate, where the treaty was negotiated. [4]
