Wheatley railway station was on the Wycombe Railway and served the village of Wheatley in Oxfordshire.
It was opened in 1864 as part of an extension from Thame to Oxford. The railway crossed the steep road of Ladder Hill by a bridge. The station was on the east side of Ladder Hill.
In 1963 British Railways withdrew passenger services between Princes Risborough and Oxford, closed all intermediate stations including Wheatley, and dismantled the track between Thame and Cowley.
Kelham Hall Drive and Kimber Close have been built on the site of Wheatley station. One of the pub's bars is decorated with many items of railway memorabilia, some of which relate to the former railway through Wheatley station.[1]
