History
Loudwater station was located at the bottom of Treadaway Hill just past the present M40 bridge, and served both the Loudwater and Flackwell Heath areas. It opened in 1854 and the station became a halt in 1968 because of a decreased service on the line.
The station was closed in 1970, and quickly demolished. The site is now an industrial park, although at the rear of the park the old railway tunnel under the M40 is still in place. A railway conservation path towards High Wycombe follows the route of the former railway.
