About your departure station
Opened in 1850 as part of the Oxford to Bletchley line, Islip served rural Oxfordshire.
The station was nearly closed in the 1960s but survived due to local opposition.
Services were reduced until Chiltern Railways revived the line in the 1990s.
Islip's basic facilities reflect its quiet role, though usage has grown with Oxford's expansion.
The station's survival represents the value of rural rail links, even with minimal services.
Recent housing developments may increase demand, but Islip remains one of Oxfordshire's quietest stations, largely unchanged for decades.
