Opened in 1856 by the Abingdon Railway, later part of the Great Western Railway, this was the terminus of a short branch which left the Paddington-Oxford line south of Radley. The station closed to passengers in 1963 and completely in 1984. View west towards the buffers. This viewpoint would have been just beyond the end of the single passenger platform, which would have run straight ahead. A goods yard was to the left of the image. The site is mostly a supermarket, but Abbey Close cuts across the site between the platform and the site of the station building. No trace remains.
