The Chiltern Railway trains are faster and more comfortable than the Metropolitan trains.

For trains to London you can either catch the Metropolitan Line trains into Baker Street and then onward to the City - via Euston, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street (these take about 50 minutes to Baker Street and 60 minutes to the City). A faster and more comfortable service is available by Chiltern Railways' trains into London Marylebone, taking about 40 minutes. Tickets bought at Amersham are valid on both services and trains run about every 20 minutes. For visiting London's West End I would suggest using the Marylebone train service, for the City use the Metropolitan service.
