Aspley Guise Station Gallery 2 1979 - February 2014


Aspley Guise station looking west from a Bletchley-bound DMU in 1979. The female crossing keeper waits for the train to depart before closing the gates. In 2004 the up platform was relocated to the west side of the crossing which allowed the gates to be opened before the train stops at the platform. A newly fitted Corporate Identity sign is seen on the lamp post.

A very clean and tidy Aspley Guise down platform in June 2003. Since coming under the control of Silverlink the station has been given a face-lift with new fencing, seats and signage. The platform is now designated 'Platform 1'.

Aspley Guise gate in June 2003 a few months before the crossing was automated and fitted with lifting barriers. The two gates do not match; the gate on the left has had numerous repairs. Note the oil lamp still in place on the other gate.

Aspley Guise station down platform looking east in February 2014. The up platform has now been relocated to the west side of the level crossing. The station still has only very basic facilities; these have been reduced since the station has come under the control of London Midland. Platform lighting has been reduced: the light to the left of the shelter has been removed, there is now only one seat and the 'Platform 1' sign has been removed. There is however a ‘help point’.

Aspley Guise station looking east from the down platform in February 2014. There is no evidence of the former up platform which was opposite the down platform until 2004.
Aspley Guise station looking east from the down platform in February 2014. The present up platform can be made out in the distance on the far side of the crossing. By having staggered platforms road traffic on the level crossing is not held up by trains standing still in the platform before proceeding over the crossing. The man in the high-viz jacket is the line manager taking photographs prior to the installation of new fencing to deter passengers from taking a short-cut across the tracks to the far side of the crossing.
