The original Winslow rail station was once a busy station on the Oxford - Cambridge Varsity line. The last passenger trains ran until the end of 1967. The station building was demolished in 1993; the two cars parked near the centre of the photo identify the position of the original station. East West Rail will reopen and dual track the line between Oxford and Bletchley by December 2017. The recent housing development precludes the rebuilding of the station in its original position. Instead a new station will be built to the north west of the line near to the junction between Buckingham Road and Great Horwood Road.
