Islip railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islip railway station serves the village of Islip, Oxfordshire. It is served by First Great Western Link using Class 165 Diesel Multiple Units. Islip is located just to the north-east of Oxford — services run south to Oxford (sometimes continuing to Didcot and beyond) and north-east to Bicester.
[edit] History
Islip was originally a double tracked two-platform station. However, in December 1968 it was closed to passengers, along with the rest of the Oxford to Bletchley and Bedford to Cambridge sections of the Varsity Line.
In 1987 Network South East reopened the Oxford-Bicester line, and in 1989 Islip was reopened as a single platform unstaffed halt.
