Bletchington railway station

The Oxford and Rugby Railway planned a railway between those two points, which was authorised on 4 August 1845;^[1] construction began in 1846,^[2] but before any portion was open, it was absorbed by the Great Western Railway. The line opened as far as Banbury on 2 September 1850, and there were three intermediate stations,^[3][4] the southernmost being Woodstock Road.^[3][4] Upon the opening of a different station named Woodstock Road in 1855, this station was renamed Kirtlington;^[3][5][6] and following rebuilding it was renamed for a final time on 11 August 1890, becoming Bletchington.^[3][5][6] It is possible that the original name of this station was Woodstock, becoming Woodstock Road in May 1851^[5] or 1852.^[7]

British Railways closed the station to passengers on 2 November 1964^[8][7] and to goods on 21 June 1965.^[8] The station building survives but much of the station site is now occupied by an industrial estate.
