Gradient Post
The gradient post that stood beneath the Southcourt footbridge at the north end of Aylesbury station. The post and the bridge have now gone. I'm not sure of its provenance - it may be of GCR, LNER, GWR or Metropolitan origin. The gradient of 1:2200 seems insignificant but it is actually quite noticeable; approaching Aylesbury from the north you have to apply a couple of notches of power in order to maintain the 30mph line speed. 21st April 2003.
