Haddenham and Thame Parkway railway station serves the village of Haddenham in Buckinghamshire and town of Thame in Oxfordshire, England. The station is on the western edge of Haddenham, about Template:Convert/mi north east of Thame, and is served by Chiltern Railways.
History and general information[]
There used to be a Haddenham railway station at the village and a Thame railway station on the Princes Risborough to Oxford line, but British Railways closed both stations in 1963. The old Haddenham station was on a different site about Template:Convert/mi south-east of the present one, and traces can still be seen where a bridge carries Station Road over the line.[1]
The current station was opened on 5 October 1987[2] to serve Haddenham and Thame.[3] The station was built on the north side of Thame Road, Haddenham, and 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 from 24 May 1998, there are now two, one on either line.[4] 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 newsagent's based in a temporary building.
In recent years passenger traffic at Haddenham and Thame has grown rapidly. In the eight years 2003–11 the number of passengers using the station increased by 53%.[5]
