Originally known as the Watlington and Princes Risborough Railway Company, the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway (C&PRR) was granted a Transport and Works Order under section 6 of the Transport and Works Act 1992 on 04 July 1994, the order coming into force on 26 July 1994. A new platform suitable for two coaches was completed in May 1994 and the restoration of operational passenger and goods stock was also completed that year. The C&PRR’s Volunteers built a replica award winning station at Chinnor and tens of thousands of passengers a year now use the line - far more than the line ever did in its history!
We are a small group of volunteers from Chinnor and surrounding villages who try to help people where friends and family are unable to do so. We can help with shopping, collecting prescriptions, providing transport to appointments, popping round for a coffee and a chat, or even small one-off jobs around the house.

There are several local radio stations that cover this area.
BBC Radio Oxford is the BBC's local radio station serving the county of Oxfordshire. It broadcasts on FM, DAB, digital TV and via BBC Sounds from studios in the Summertown area of Oxford. According to RAJAR, the station has a weekly audience of 87,000 listeners and a 3.5% share as of December 2023.
Red Kite Radio was founded in 2017 as the community radio station for Thame, Haddenham and the surrounding villages. Based in the grounds of Haddenham Garden Centre, Red Kite Radio is a not-for-profit organisation. The station’s remit is to serve the community with classic hits from the Sixties through to today; and to provide news and information. The station is funded by advertising, sponsorship and grants from supporting organisations.
The fulltime station, broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, was officially launched on a baking hot Sunday at Haddenham Garden Centre, on 18th June 2017 with a cake and champagne reception for invited guests and the station went on air at 11am that day with the first voice heard being Mark Chapple presenting the first song, Beautiful Day by U2.
Today the team at Red Kite Radio is a family of all ages, from all backgrounds, with a vast repertoire of music knowledge and preferences. We’re always keen to build the team so anyone can come in and give it a go after completing our training. We train the presenters in the studio to operate the desk and control the playlist system.
