Aynho Park was the northernmost of six new stations that the Great Western Railway provided when it opened the high-speed Bicester cut-off line between Ashendon Junction and Aynho Junction for passengers on 1 July 1910.
The line became part of the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. British Railways closed Aynho Park station in 1963.
