Platform 1 seen here hosts the shuttle train to / from Aylesbury. The other side of this platform (Platform 2) serves "up" trains to London. Within certain time limitations the shuttle train can be held to await late-running trains from London if needed, although London-bound trains do not wait if the shuttle is delayed. I am always mystified by the motley collection of spare rails that lie around the railway system, and there are plenty on view here. Are they old rails awaiting a scrap collection, or new rails awaiting installation?
