Aylesbury Vale Parkway Station – 4th June 2023

I went to Aylesbury and Aylesbury Vale Parkway stations today, to check out if my recent posts about the East West Railway are correct and take some pictures of the two stations.

This Google Map shows the layout of Aylesbury Vale Parkway station.

Note.

1. The station only has a single bay platform.
2. It appears that there is a step-free walk between the car park and the platform.
3. There is no bridge or need for one.
4. There is a single through line at the station on the opposite side to the car park, which is mainly used by trains going to the landfill at Calvert.

It looks from this map, that if the single platform were widened to an island platform, that both terminating and through trains could call in the station.

These are my pictures of the station.

Note.

1. The second track can be seen in the eighth picture.
2. I believe an island platform could be created between the two tracks.
3. There is a substantial amount of car parking for 501 vehicles.
4. There is a step-free connection between the platform and the car parking.
5. There appears to be a good grid connection.

I believe that Aylesbury Vale Parkway station could be modified to be a single platform station on the Aylesbury Spur of the East West Railway, that I wrote about in East-West Rail: Aylesbury Spur.

This Google Map shows the area around the station.

It shows how a parkway station can provoke development on an area.
