The station was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1901 and was jointly operated by the GWR and the Great Central Railway. The original main building was burned down in 1913 in an attack by suffragettes but was rebuilt [1]. The station had a small goods yard which closed in 1965 [2]. A signalbox at Saunderton remained until 1975.
The station is now managed by Chiltern Railways with a train per hour in each direction between
London Marylebone and
Aylesbury. The station is unstaffed with basic facilities though has a brick built Edwardian waiting room. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge. Saunderton village is actually quite close to Princes Risborough and 4km from this station, though the settlement around the station is also known as Saunderton!
