Until 1967, there used to be a 'Halt' at what was the pedestrian crossing from Old Stoke Road, Southcourt to Mandeville Road (closed in 2016). The 'Aylesbury South Halt' as it used to be known, was on the ex GWR (originally broad gauge) line to Princes Risborough and High Wycombe, a stop for the train into Aylesbury to pause for any passengers who wanted a short train journey into the centre of town. It comprised a small wooden platform and shelter.
