# South Aylesbury Halt railway station

South Aylesbury Halt was a railway station which was opened in 1933 and was closed in 1967. It was located on the Aylesbury–Princes Risborough line.

## History

The station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 13 February 1933 to serve factories in the locality, as well as the Southcourt housing estate. It was situated on a foot crossing between Mandeville Road and Old Stoke Road. In 1966, British Rail proposed the closure of the station which was queried by the East Midlands Transport Users Consultative Committee (TUCC) as usage figures showed that receipts were £130 per year while direct costs were only £26. British Rail subsequently justified the closure on the basis of anticipated renewal costs of £2,500 and the TUCC approved the closure, as there would be no hardship caused. The station closed on 5 June 1967.
