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.
