Akeman Street was a railway station in the English county of Buckinghamshire. It was sited where the railway crossed the A41, the Roman Akeman Street.

History

The station was opened by the Great Central Railway, becoming part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. That company then closed station seven years later.

The site today

The station buildings have now been demolished. An overgrown single track from the former Great Central Main Line, the remains of the link to the GW/GC joint line, finishes in a set of stop blocks at the north end of the site.
