Description
Town Station was built in 1863 when the Great Western Railway reached Aylesbury via High Wycombe and Princes Risborough. A new street, Great Western Street, was built to connect it to to the Market Square. The station was shared by the Aylesbury and Buckingham Railway from 1868 when a local line opened, and by the Metropolitan Railway from 1892 when it was finally extended to Aylesbury. In 1899 the Great Central Railway provided a main line route north to Manchester. The station was rebuilt in 1925-6 (B1).
