The last steam train ran through Rickmansworth on 9 September 1961, when the newly electrified extension was opened through to Aylesbury. The Baker Street to Rickmansworth line had already been electrified using the London Transport Underground network in January 1925 as part of the programme to promote the new villages and towns of Metroland.
