[edit] History
It was just north of Verney Junction on the Banbury to Verney Junction Branch Line. However it was not built until 1878 by the LNWR. It opened on 1 March 1878.[2]
There was a simple siding to which, initially, access was gained by a key held by the station master at Verney Junction. Once the station was opened, it was controlled by a six lever ground frame locked by the train staff.
The station building was of simple but neat brick construction, without an awning, with one platform 250 feet long on the single line.[3]
At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway.
It closed in 1964, to goods on 6 January and passengers on 7 September.[2]
All trace of the station and the line has gone and the site has been built on with a small housing estate
