After a largely dull day by the time we were about to head for home the sun came out! Graham and I reached Aylesbury station to find it eerily quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Looking south-east from the platform end reveals some lovely mechanical signalling controlled by the 1908 Great Central box. The thirty-eight miles route south of here to London was jointly operated by the Great Central and Metropolitan railways giving rise to an interesting and eclectic mix of infrastructure.
