A Class 115 DMU stands in Aylesbury station. The unit will soon leave with the 16.40 to Marylebone with one of the smart blue and grey recently refurbished DMBS cars leading an unrefurbished TCL in all-over blue. The staff at Aylesbury station obviously made an effort to keep the station as smart as possible witnessed by the flower beds on the platforms with some lovely roses appearing to be thriving. The station seen here dates from 1926 and was constructed then by an interesting joint committee who operated the line composed of the GWR & GCR Joint, the Metropolitan and GCR Joint and, incredibly the LNER as they largely had taken over the GCR's operations by this time.
