Opened in 1866 by the Wallingford and Watlington Railway (which never got to Watlington and became part of the Great Western Railway in 1872), as the terminus of the line from Moulsford. In 1892 the junction was moved to Cholsey. Wallingford station closed to passengers in 1959 and completely in 1965. View north towards the buffers. It is hard to imagine today that the single platform and station building would have been to the right and a small engine shed to the left. No trace remains. SeeImage for an image of the location taken some 59 years earlier.
