Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Aylesbury railway station The station is the current terminus of the London to Aylesbury Line from Marylebone station via Amersham. A branch line from Princes Risborough, on the line from Marylebone to Birmingham via High Wycombe, also reaches the station.
The railway first reached Aylesbury in 1863 and has had a chequered and complex history since. For example the current station buildings seen here date from 1926 when the London and North Eastern Railway had joint operating rights with the Great Western Railway, while between 1948 and 1961 the station was the terminus of the steam operated services of London Underground's Metropolitan Line! Services today are entirely London orientated. If for example you wanted to go from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes or Oxford, each about 23 miles and about 35 minutes away from Aylesbury by car, it would take a minimum of two and a half hours and a trip to London to achieve the journey by train to Milton Keynes, while the Oxford journey would involve visits to, and changes at, Princes Risborough and Banbury and take at least an hour and a half. From a train point of view in the picture in the siding on the far right is a first generation diesel multiple unit which is used for route training, while the passenger train about to depart for London is No. 165022. |
