Aylesbury railway station is a railway station in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England. It is a major stop on the London to Aylesbury Line from via Amersham. It is from Aylesbury to Marylebone. A branch line from on the Chiltern Main Line terminates at the station. ==History== The first station on the site was opened in 1863 by the Wycombe Railway, which in 1867 was taken over by the Great Western Railway. In 1868 the Aylesbury & Buckingham Railway (later part of the Metropolitan Railway) reached Aylesbury. When opened the line to Aylesbury from Princes Risborough was broad gauge. To avoid mixed gauge track when the standard gauge Aylesbury and Buckingham arrived at the station in 1868 the section to Princes Risborough was converted to standard gauge and therefore until the rest of the Wycombe Railway was converted in 1870 there was no access to the rest of the GWR system. The GWR providing motive power and trains to both the Wycombe Railway and A&B and running a shuttle service from Princes Risborough to Verney Junction. A broad gauge single road engine shed was provided from opening in 1863, the shed was doubled in length within a year or two and in 1870 became a two road shed with a lean to added to the east side of the original shed. by 1892 with the arrival of the Metropolitan railway the shed was converted to a north light two road shed using the west wall of the original broad gage shed and the east wall of the 1870 extension. The Metropolitan Railway connected from Little Chalfont in 1892, and in that year the station was rebuilt. The Great Central Railway reached Aylesbury in 1899 from Annesley Junction just north of Nottingham on its London extension line to London Marylebone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aylesbury railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
