Aylesbury Vale Parkway station ready for December
Chiltern Railways has announced plans to start running train services from the new Aylesbury Vale Parkway station on the 14th of December 2008, a whole two years earlier than expected. Trains from the station will reach London’s Marylebone station in under one hour. With rail upgrade works for the project going well, contracts have just been awarded to build the station and car park.
Three miles north-west of Aylesbury on the A41, the £11.94m public transport interchange comprises a new railway station, bus-based park and ride facilities and 500 parking spaces. It will serve the 3,000 new homes to be built at Berryfields and will be convenient for residents of Winslow, Whitchurch, Waddeston, Quainton and Buckingham. Customers will be able to drive to the station to catch direct services to London, or, in the future, park and ride in to the centre of Aylesbury.
Details of the timetable will be made available in autumn, but Chiltern Railways are promising a regular, reliable and good value service.
