Oxford Parkway railway station is a railway station at Water Eaton, Oxfordshire, on the Oxford–Bicester line. Full regular weekday service began on 25 October 2015,[2] although the first passengers travelled the previous day on a Sunday timetable.[3]
The station, whose name was changed in September 2013 from the provisional "Water Eaton Parkway",[4][5] lies between Kidlington and Oxford beside the existing Water Eaton park-and-ride site.[6] It serves Kidlington, north Oxford and nearby villages. The station forms part of a multi-modal transport interchange node, connecting travellers by bus, cycle, on foot and by car with rail transport. It is also intended to attract park-and-ride traffic from the busy A34, A40 and A44 roads.
Services to Oxford started on 11 December 2016.[7]
