Aylesbury is a medium-sized town in central Buckinghamshire. It is the county town.

The town has a bus station, which is used by most but not all local bus services. The bus station has been critisised for being 'unwelcoming' and 'depressing'. Buckinghamshire Council are reportedly looking at options such as relocating the bus station or improving the existing one. Due to being located underneath the shopping centre, it's not suitable for photographing buses as it is too dark.

The majority of bus services in Aylesbury are operated by the group of companies known by enthusiasts as the 'Red group'. This group consists of Red Rose Travel, Redline Buses and Red Eagle. They operate from depots around the Aylesbury area.
