Buckinghamshire Railway Centre

Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is a railway museum in Aylesbury occupying two connected sections linked by footbridges. The site displays over 170 items of rolling stock and features historic buildings where visitors can ride steam trains and explore preserved railway infrastructure.

The centre was established in 1969 and acquired the London Railway Preservation Society collection in 1971. This transfer brought important locomotives including Metropolitan Railway E Class No. 1 to the site.

The restored Quainton Road station building appears regularly in television productions, reflecting how the railway heritage remains relevant to contemporary storytelling. The site demonstrates how preserved stations continue to serve multiple purposes beyond their original function.

Steam train rides operate on specific days throughout the year, so planning your visit around these dates is helpful. The museum site offers wheelchair access via a dedicated footbridge connecting the two main sections.

The Brill platform preserves the last remaining section of the Brill Tramway, a former streetcar line that once served the area. This rare survival reveals an alternative form of public transport from an earlier era.
