Choice in public transport forms part of the wider sustainability agenda for the growth in Aylesbury Vale. Parkway Station offers this choice to the future residents of the Berryfields housing development, providing a direct route to London via Marylebone station. Residents in Steeple Claydon, Westcott, Quainton or Waddesdon who are season ticket holders can simply hop on the Route 16 bus at peak times and enjoy a free ride to the station to meet your train.
Adrian Shooter, AVA Board Member and Chairman of Chiltern Railways, said, ‘We are always looking to invest and open new services that give our passengers options and an easier way to travel and Aylesbury Vale Parkway certainly does that. We’re particularly proud that Aylesbury Vale Parkway opened in June because we completed this project some 18 months early, which is testament to what can be achieved by working in partnership with local authorities.”
This new station, with parking for 500 vehicles and ‘park & ride’ links integrates car, bus and rail traffic and forms part of Aylesbury’s recently completed integrated transport interchange scheme. This scheme incorporates a public transport hub, a revamped bus station, improved pedestrian and cycle access from the south of the town via Bourg Walk bridge and ring road improvements and provides Aylesbury with a transport system that will support Aylesbury’s current and future growth.
