Launton Station was on the railway line between Oxford and Bletchley. It was opened in 1852 and closed in 1967. The only remains of the station still extant are of the eastbound platform on the right. In its final state the railway was twin tracked, but the line that was on the left of the remaining one has since been lifted. The line is still open for occasional freight workings.
