Aylesbury High Street railway station was the London and North Western Railway station which served the town of Aylesbury in the English county of Buckinghamshire. It was the terminus of a branch from Cheddington on what is now known as the West Coast Main Line.
Two stations were built, the first being used as a goods terminus after its closure to passengers.[1]

Opened by the Aylesbury branch of the London and Birmingham Railway, and then the London and North Western Railway, it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, passing on to the London Midland Region of British Railways during the nationalisation of 1948. It was then closed by British Railways.
The railway stopped at only one stop between Aylesbury and Cheddington. This was the halt Marston gate.

The site is now occupied by an office block and a retail park.[2] The route into Aylesbury has been taken over by a road named 'Stocklake' and 'Vale Park Drive' (part of the A418 road), although the formation remains mostly intact along the route of the road.
