History
Ardley was one of six new stations that the Great Western Railway provided when it opened the high-speed Bicester cut-off line between Princes Risborough and Kings Sutton in 1910.[1] It was the last station under the jurisdiction of the London District of the GWR on this route. The line became part of the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.It had sidings by 1951.[2][3][4] British Railways closed Ardley station and sidings in 1963,[5] but in an odd oversight, Ardley continued to appear in the weekly special traffic notices of the London Midland Region right up until 1982, nineteen years after its closure.
