History
When the first section of the Oxford and Rugby Railway was opened as far as Banbury on 2 September 1850, there were only three intermediate stations, the northernmost of which was Aynho. The Oxford & Rugby Railway was absorbed by the Great Western Railway prior to opening.
To the north of the station is Aynho Junction, the northern end of the Bicester "cut-off" line, which was brought into use in 1910. This route passes close to Aynho station, and a nearby station named Aynho Park was provided on the Bicester "cut-off" route.
The station passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board, to goods on 4 May 1964 and to passengers on 2 November 1964, along with three other stations between Leamington Spa and Didcot; by this time it had been renamed Aynho for Deddington.
