Hinksey Halt railway station was built by the Great Western Railway to serve New Hinksey, a suburb of Oxford.
The station was situated on the main Didcot to Oxford railway line, to the north of the site of Millstream Junction,[1] the junction for the original terminus at Oxford (Grandpont), which was later a goods station but had closed by 1900.[2] Access to Hinksey Halt was via Norreys Avenue and a footpath across the adjacent reservoir.[3] The reservoir was formerly a ballast pit, dug by the GWR between 1844 and 1848.[4]
It was opened on 1 February 1908 along with four other halts on the route between Oxford and Wheatley.[5][1][6][7]
Services were provided by steam railmotors based at Oxford, which was also the western terminus; the eastern terminus of these services was Wheatley, Thame or Princes Risborough.[8] When the railmotor services were withdrawn on 22 March 1915, the halt closed.[5][1][6][9] The line remains open for passenger services between Reading and Oxford, but these do not call at Hinksey Halt.
