High Wycombe station is set to be transformed by students and volunteers.

Chiltern Railways has announced a partnership with Buckinghamshire New University and Chiltern Rangers to enhance the station's appearance and make it more inviting for the community.

Art and design students from the university will create artwork for the station overbridge, while Chiltern Rangers will clear, plant, and maintain the gardens at the station and around the Brunel building.

The initiative aims to connect High Wycombe station with the town's historic sites, improve the area's biodiversity, and preserve the station's heritage.

The partnership, which forms a new group of station adopters at High Wycombe, was funded by Chiltern Railways' Community Investment Fund (CIF).

The CIF supports community projects that provide social, economic, and environmental benefits.

Happiness Agbo, area station manager for south Buckinghamshire at Chiltern Railways, said: "The new partnership is crucial for enhancing High Wycombe station and it is a milestone for new improvements in the area which customers can enjoy.

"I am looking forward to seeing the station reflect the character and diversity of our local communities."

Professor Nick Braisby, vice-chancellor at Buckinghamshire New University, said: "We’re delighted to collaborate with Chiltern Railways and Chiltern Rangers to create a welcoming and culturally enriched space for our local community and visitors to the town.

"BNU has a long and proud history in High Wycombe and we’re excited to see our talented students and the excellent team at Chiltern Rangers work together."

John Shaw, managing director at Chiltern Rangers, welcomed the partnership.

He said: "We are looking forward to this partnership with Buckinghamshire New University and at least five other community organisations, making the railway gateway to our town better for wildlife and visitors with improved gardens, new art and information on local events and activities."
