It was built in 1861 at the junction of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway and Witney Railway north of Oxford. British Railways closed the station to passengers in 1962. It was demolished circa 1965. When the Oxford Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway was opened in 1853 there was no station at Yarnton. On 1 April 1854 the Buckinghamshire Junction Railway (colloquially known as the Yarnton Loop) was opened creating a junction at Yarnton (then called Buckingham Junction), but no station was provided. The BJR enabled trains from the OW&WR to run onto the London and North Western Railway's line to Bletchley and from there to London Euston. Handborough Station was the interchange for the new line. The OW&WR planned a grand new interchange station at Yarnton but it was never built.
