On 1 October 1850 the Buckinghamshire Railway opened Islip station[1] as a double tracked two-platform station with a goods shed.
In December 1968 British Railways withdrew passenger services from the Buckinghamshire Railway between Oxford and Bletchley and closed all intermediate stations including Islip;[2] closure was effective from 1 January 1968.[1]
In 1987 Network SouthEast reintroduced passenger services on the Oxford to Bicester Line and on 13 May 1989 Islip was reopened[1] as a single platform unstaffed halt.
From December 2008 the service on Mondays to Saturdays was improved with an evening service and a doubling of the service on Saturdays. There are now 11 trains on Mondays to Thursdays, 12 on Fridays and 13 on Saturdays. From May 2009 further improvements saw extra trains during the daytime on Mondays to Fridays and a new all-year round Sunday service, with trains every 90 minutes.
On 22 May 2011, Chiltern Railways took over all passenger operations from this station from the previous operator First Great Western. This is in advance of the new London Marylebone to Oxford service which is due to start in 2013.[3]
