Opened in 1850 on what became the London & North Western Railway's Oxford to Cambridge line via Bedford, this 2-platform station closed in 1968. Between 1954 and 1968 it was known as "Bicester London Road" station. The station was reopened as a single platform by British Rail in 1987 as "Bicester Town" only to be completely demolished as part of the rebuilding of the line in 2014. View south west towards Islip and Oxford during the rebuilding. The single platform of "Bicester Town"was where the railings on the right are. The subsequent "Bicester Village" was taking shape 70m or so further from the camera position - see Image for a 2016 view from the same camera position.
