[edit] History and general info

The station was opened in the late 1980s to serve the village of Haddenham and the town of Thame, which had both lost their stations in the mass closures of the 1960s. The station was originally single platform, with the platform sited on the former down line, long since removed. However, in 1998 as part of 'Project Evergreen,' Chiltern Railways re-doubled the Princes Risborough-Bicester line and re-modelled the platforms so that there are now two, one on either line. Since then the platforms have also been lengthened and the station building has been expanded to include a coffee shop following the removal of the newsagents based in a temporary building.
