travelling to Denham Golf Club do so by BMW rather than Chiltern

Turbo

(although the latter has more plentiful room for one's clubs).

It is eleven years since I last travelled the GC/GW joint. Is the
Pagoda still at Denham Golf Club?

A.

Yup. I don't think anything's really changed at Denham Golf Club in the
last 100-ish years.

Not so!

The up platform used to be nearer to London than the down platform. About 40
years ago a new up platform was built opposite the down platform. That's why
there are three pagodas, not two. Some very important people have used it.
In fact you could have seen me get on and off there, but I have never played
a round of golf. However I regularly trespassed on the golf course, using it
as a short cut to the station. I am pleased that you recognise the
significance of this distinguished station.

Regards,
David Fairthorne
