Anyway, anyone know anything about a passing loop at the station
between Rickmansworth and Chalfont & Latimer?!

Vol2 of Bill Simpson's A history of the Metropolitan Railway has a 1908
plan of Chorley Wood Station and it is most probable that there was a loop
via part of the goods yard. I say probable as the southern connection (if
there was one, has been chopped from the illustration.

On the name front the same publication yields the following words of
wisdom:-

The station opened July8 1889 and the name Chorley Wood was retained until
1915 when it was changed to Chorley Wood and Chenies until 1934. From that
time until 1965 it reverted back to Chorley Wood and then changed to its
present title of Chorleywood.
